SETI: Space Agencies

Czech Games Edition proudly announces the SETI: Space Agencies expansion! Launching at Spiel Essen this October, this exciting addition to the SETI game will take your extraterrestrial exploration to new heights. Prepare for an even deeper dive into the search for life beyond Earth! SETI: Space Agencies is an expansion for the board game SETI: Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, focusing on the theme of international collaboration and competition in the search for extraterrestrial life. The expansion introduces powerful, asymmetric space agencies, each possessing unique abilities and starting conditions, significantly altering the strategic landscape of the core game. These agencies, ranging from private corporations to governmental research networks, bring diverse perspectives and specialized tools to the quest for alien intelligence, encouraging diverse strategic approaches and rewarding long-term planning. The addition of new alien species and project cards further increases the game’s variability and depth. Gameplay involves managing resources and undertaking projects to detect and analyze extraterrestrial signals. The expansion introduces new mechanics, including asymmetric starting conditions defined by the chosen space agency, and signal tokens which enhance scanning efficiency. The “Quick Start” cards streamline the opening stages of the game, especially at lower player counts, emphasizing the asymmetric advantages conferred by each agency. The integration of the new components seamlessly expands upon the core game’s existing mechanics, providing players with a richer and more strategically complex experience.
