SETI: Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence

Take charge of a scientific institution and search the stars for evidence of life beyond Earth in SETI: Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, a strategic eurogame for 1–4 players.

Launch probes into a constantly shifting Solar System, choosing whether to land on planets and moons to collect samples or remain in orbit for a broader survey. Back on Earth, direct telescopes towards distant star systems, searching for alien signals and undiscovered exoplanets.

As your research develops, upgrade your equipment, manage a limited supply of resources and play project cards inspired by real technologies, missions and discoveries. With a richly layered puzzle to solve and a dedicated solo mode, every decision brings you closer to a discovery that could change our understanding of life in the universe.
