In SETI: Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, a Eurogame for 1–4 players, you lead a scientific institution charged with searching for traces of life beyond planet Earth. The game draws inspiration from current or emerging technologies and efforts in space exploration.
Players will explore nearby planets and their moons by launching probes from Earth, while taking advantage of ever-changing planet positions. Decide whether to land on their surface to collect valuable samples, or stay in orbit for a broader investigation. In addition, by pointing your telescopes at distant galaxies, you can detect traces of alien signals or undiscovered exoplanets, and collect promising data to explore and study at home.
Back on Earth, you can invest in upgrading your equipment so you can analyze incoming data more efficiently, increase your telescope signal capacity, or increase your supply of resources: all to expand the scope of your search that could lead to the discovery of alien life forms.
You'll also use more than 200 cards to support your efforts or focus your research in a particular direction for additional bonuses and rewards. Each card features unique effects and artwork and depicts real-world technologies, projects, and discoveries (such as the ISS, the Large Hadron Collider, the Perseverance rover, the Voyager probe, and many others).
Finding traces of extraterrestrial life is just a matter of strategically deploying the resources at your disposal, and you can be the one to make the greatest scientific contribution to advancing our understanding of extraterrestrial life within our galaxy.
SETI: Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence celebrates space and planet exploration, astronomy, the ongoing search for signs of life in the vastness of space, and efforts to understand the nature of life in the universe.
