A dark planet may be lurking on the edge of our solar system. In 2015, astronomers estimated that a large, distant planet could explain the unique orbits of dwarf planets and other objects. Since then, astronomers have been scanning the skies, hoping to find this planet.
The board game The Search for Planet X gives players the opportunity to take on the roles of astronomers who use observations and logical deductions to search for this hypothetical planet. As more and more objects are discovered, players narrow down the possible locations for Planet X. When a player believes they know its location and the objects on either side of it, they use the search app. The game ends when a player successfully locates Planet X and all players have one final chance to score a few more points. The Search for Planet X captures the thrill of discovery, the enigmatic nature of astronomical research, and the competition inherent in the scientific process. Can you be the first to find Planet X?
