Description
Since 2016, astronomers have been searching for a large, distant planet to explain the unique orbits of objects in our solar system.
In THE SEARCH FOR PLANET X, a tabletop board game from Foxtrot Games, you will take on the role of these astronomers, using observations and logical deductions to search for this distant planet. The game uses a companion app to randomly choose a location for Planet X and other objects, following predefined logic rules.
As the earth travels around the sun, you will interact with the app to perform various research actions. You'll note what you learn on your deduction sheet, and you'll be able to piece together all the available information to publish theories and score points.
THE SEARCH FOR PLANET X captures the thrill of discovery, the puzzly-nature of astronomical investigation, and the competition inherent in the scientific process.

Works for its sole specific purpose of serving the board game. However, I'd like for it to also be able to display my previously revealed information. Sometimes you just accidentally misc lick and there's pretty much no way to recap.

One of my MOST favorite board games. The game works only with the app though. The app works great! I love the idea, and think you all should advertise the game more and translate to other languages!! Also, would have loved if you added a deck of cards with everything the app has to offer, so that even without the app you could play the game since when you can't use the phone, the game is unplayable. Otherwise, favorite game :3

Ok game, but the sheet doesn't have enough space for writing and the finding planet X points aren't very clear (lost a game because I thought I would get 2 points for finding it second, didn't know it was how many spaces behind you were)

This game is overwhelming. Not my cup of tea.
★★☆☆☆Oleg Kean· Aug 12, 2021
The board game is a brilliant but the app usability is poor. That fact it's not syncing between players, so it could take in account actions time cost and visible sky is revolting.

App state does not survive configuration changes or being killed by the system when multitasking.
