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.
Modoolo
Read full descriptionHide full description
Modoolo is a puzzle game about programming a factory with modulo arithmetic. You control conveyor belts, robotic arms, and switches. Configure each one with modulo conditions to route packages from senders to receivers. What starts as a simple sorting task grows into genuine logic puzzles: side quests, a boss fight, and a cast of factory robots who occasionally have opinions. Includes a full Level Editor so you can build your own puzzles, and a Level Hub to play what other players have made.
