In this game, designed by Tomas Holek, players will lead a science lab that has been put in charge of finding life beyond the planet Earth. They will explore various planets and their moons with probes, using Earth's planetary positions to collect samples or survey planets in orbit. Players will also scan distant star systems for life using their telescope and invest in equipment to increase the telescope's range. The goal of the game is to use the over 200 cards included to become the scientist that ends up making the biggest contribution toward furthering the understanding of alien life.
The game is for one to four players, ages 13 and up, and plays in 40-160 minutes. It will retail for $69.95.
