In SETI: Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, you lead a scientific institution tasked with searching for signs of life beyond planet Earth. The game draws inspiration from current and emerging technologies and efforts in space exploration.
Players will explore nearby planets and their moons by launching probes from Earth and taking advantage of the planets' ever-changing positions. Decide whether to land on their surfaces to collect valuable samples, or stay in orbit for a more extensive study. Additionally, by pointing your telescopes at distant star systems, you may be able to detect traces of alien signals or undiscovered exoplanets, collecting promising data to examine and study back home.
On Earth, you can invest in upgrading your equipment so you can analyze incoming data more effectively, increase the signal capacity of your telescope, or increase your resources - all to expand the scope of your search, which could lead to the discovery of extraterrestrial life forms.
You'll also use over 200 cards to aid your efforts or direct your research in a specific direction for additional bonuses and rewards. Each card has unique effects and illustrations and depicts real-world technologies, projects, and discoveries (such as the ISS, the Large Hadron Collider, the Mars rover Perseverance, the Voyager probes, and many more).
Discovering traces of extraterrestrial life is only a matter of time - use the resources at your disposal strategically, and you may end up being the one who makes the greatest scientific contribution to advancing our understanding of extraterrestrial life in our galaxy.
SETI: Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence pays tribute to the exploration of space and planets, astronomy, the ongoing search for signs of life in the vastness of space, and efforts to understand the nature of life in the universe.
Information from the publisher:
In SETI: Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, a eurogame for 1–4 players, you lead a scientific institution tasked 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-shifting planetary positions. Decide whether to land on their surface to collect valuable samples, or stay in orbit for a broader survey. Additionally, by directing your telescopes to gaze into distant star systems, you may detect traces of alien signals or undiscovered exoplanets, and collect promising data to examine and study back home.
Back on Earth, you can invest in upgrading your equipment so you can analyze incoming data more efficiently, boost your telescope signal capacity, or increase your supply of resources—all to expand the scope of your search that could lead to a discovery of extraterrestrial life forms.
You will also make use of over 200 cards to aid your efforts or focus your research in a particular direction for additional bonuses and rewards. Each card has unique effects and illustrations and depicts real-life technologies, projects, and discoveries (like the ISS, Large Hadron Collider, Perseverance rover, Voyager probe, and many more).
Finding traces of extraterrestrial life is only a matter of time—utilize the resources you have at your disposal strategically and you may well end up being the one to make the biggest scientific contribution towards advancing our understanding of alien life within our galaxy.
SETI: Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence pays homage to space and planetary 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.
