Like actual space research, SETI is complex and time consuming.
If you value head-to-head tactics, this may just be one of thebest board gamesin recent years.
Cards give you a huge amount of options and provide major benefits for completing objectives.
Want more strategic, space-themed games?
We’d recommend tryingApiaryorArcs.
Although they’re more fantastical than SETI, they’re equally good at immersing you in the cosmos.
These arent as transformative to the game as you might think, but can favor different strategies.
SETI also has one of the best solo modes Ive seen in a competitive game.
