SETI: Search For Extraterrestrial Intelligence

Lead a scientific institution in humanity's greatest quest—the search for extraterrestrial life. Launch probes to explore planets and moons, direct telescopes toward distant star systems, and collect data that could reveal alien signals or undiscovered exoplanets. Strategically upgrade your equipment to analyze findings more efficiently and expand your research capabilities. With over 200 uniquely illustrated cards depicting real-world technologies—from the ISS and Perseverance rover to the Voyager probe—you'll navigate five rounds of discovery. Each decision matters: land on planetary surfaces for valuable samples or maintain orbit for broader surveys. Invest wisely in resources and upgrades to outpace rival institutions and make the breakthrough that advances our understanding of life in the galaxy. The player with the most points after five rounds claims victory and the honor of humanity's greatest scientific achievement.
