Renegade Game Studio | The Search for Planet X | Board Game | Ages 13+ | 1-4 Players | 60 Minutes Playing Time

Yes an app is used. No it's not a secret. Don't understand that review. The app works well and is a small part of this fantastic game. It also makes the game indefinitely more playable. Should you not want to use the app (or the web based version), then the developer has released files so a human can take over the app duties. You can find these on 'board game geek'. Anyway I love this game. Plays excellent at two players and solo mode is a good challenge too with various levels of difficulty to try out.

Good game and good delivery

This is a more playful and complicated version of cluedo. A more interesting but easier version of sudoku. It you like logical inference. Go for it

Great game for deduction fans, if you like logic games this one is a blast.

Very enjoyable game

I have seen all the reviews bigging this game up. Yes the game is a logical deduction puzzle, well thought out and designed. What they don't tell you, is that everyone has to have the app on their own mobile phones or tablets to make it work. You can't use a central screen, as everyone then sees your clues. My friends cannot be bothered with downloading an app to play a game once in a blue moon and you try to play it with one device and just forget it! It just does not work,. Who wants to lend you their mobile and keep inputting the passcode because you have timed out. Then you lose the app because you keep passing it around and someone presses the wrong button and you have to start again. The app is the weak link and I cannot understand the multitude of positive reviews. It is a complete pain that makes the game sterile. I am a board game fan and this is not a board game. It may appeal to the generations that want everything to be on their mobile and would not normally play a board game, but it is not for me and my friends and totally misses the entire point of playing an interactive board game. About as much fun as trying to get a TV picture with a crappy ariel.

If you love Clue/Cluedo or logic puzzles then you will absolutely adore The Search For Planet X. The game strikes a perfect balance between being complex enough to get you scratching your head while not being overwhelming. The feeling of working out where something is, which sets you on a chain reaction of eliminating other possibilities and confirming others, resulting in a massive revelation on your turn is amazing and really makes you feel super smart. The box has nice art, and the components are all high quality and thematic, I especially like the movers and the sheet for writing down your working out is immensely helpful. I think this game works very well at any of the player counts available: 2,3 or 4. Overall, this is one of my favourite board games of all time and earned a permanent place in my rotation of games and I think I will still be playing it for a while yet!

El juego requiere de una App gratuita en la que múltiples dispositivos pueden conectarse mediante un código de sala o utilizando todos el mismo dispositivo. Pará el juego en solitario el nivel de la IA deduce aproximadamente en 6 turnos la ubicación del planeta X pero esto es bastante equilibrado ya que si juegas bien tus turnos y realizas las deducciones de manera adecuada puedes ganarle con las teorías si aun no tienes idea de la posición del planeta X. Los componentes son de muy buena calidad y si quieres ser aún más tecnológico se puede utilizar una tablet para realizar las anotaciones y no gastar en papel. Muy recomendado, juego competitivo, sencillo de entender y con mucha jugabilidad.

Arrived perfect. Great game.

Bella scatola e gran bel gioco, peccato che sia arrivato in francese e non fosse segnalato da nessuna parte

We ordered this for my husband's birthday a few months ago, and we are extremely happy with it. It's a beautiful game, has a solid scientific feel within the astronomy theme and plays well with as little as two people. There is an app to download in order to play the game, which is a fun addition and makes the game feel more techy overall. We love this game and have played it many times since purchasing. People should be aware that it is not the type of game you can spend a few minutes glancing at and then know how to play. We spent time with the instructions, looked up online tutorials and even watched online video playthroughs a time or two as we were learning to play in order to fully understand how it works. It's not impossible to learn, and once you have clarity it's simple enough to play the game. I'm only saying that those who order it should be prepared to do a bit of additional work to get through the learning curve. There is also an option to play as one person against the app, which my husband used when he was first figuring out how to play. As an astronomy family with several telescopes at home, this game feels like a fun way to extend the skywatching hobby on rainy nights.

Muy divertido de jugar
