DESCRIPTION OF THE BOARD GAME THE SEARCH FOR PLANET X

 In 2016, Michael Brown and another scientist put forward a very bold hypothesis. According to it, the unique orbits of some objects in the solar system indicate that some large planet must exist at a considerable distance from the Sun. And now four huge telescopes are tirelessly drilling the starry sky, hoping to find the same Planet X!

 Where does this science fiction name come from? The fact is that this is the name given to any undiscovered planet in the outer part of the solar system. And, perhaps, you will discover it yourself! But it will not be so easy to do, because other astronomers are already hunting for it.

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER

 The double-sided playing field, divided into sectors with numbers, represents the Solar System. Each sector has an examination track (squares). On the outside of the field there is a time scale. In the center is the field of the planet Earth and the disk of the Sun. During the game, the Earth's field will rotate, reproducing its movement around the Sun. Astronomers can examine those sectors of the starry sky that are not covered by the Earth's field.

 Let's note right away that finding Planet X is the trigger for the end of the game, not the main goal. The main thing is to demonstrate your professionalism and great knowledge. After all, to find Planet X, we must perfectly know the laws of the location of celestial objects relative to each other and apply this knowledge in practice.

WHAT THE STARRY SKY HIDES

 There are 5 types of objects in the game: planet X, dwarf planets, nebulae, asteroids, comets, and empty sectors. Planet X cannot be next to a dwarf planet. Asteroids are always located in pairs or groups of four asteroids. And so on. Based on this knowledge and observing the actions of your opponents, you will put forward theories about which sector this or that object is hiding in, and receive points for it.

 Each player receives a pencil, an observation sheet, and a screen. Telescope tokens are placed on the starting area. In addition to telescopes, we will also need a smartphone and a corresponding application for iOS or Android.

 One player creates a new game with a unique code. The rest enter this code in their apps and join the game. The app gives everyone unique starting information about the location of objects, which they note on an observation sheet.

HELLO FROM SPACE TO TOKAIDO

 As in Tokaido, the player whose telescope token is behind everyone else on the time track always moves. On their turn, the player chooses one of four actions: search for an object, explore a sector, explore (hint), or discover planet X. The player pays for the chosen action with time and moves their token along the time track the corresponding number of spaces.

 After this, the Earth rotates and the conference phase begins, during which players receive new information and communicate it to other participants. In the theory phase, players place theory tokens on the expertise track of certain sectors. Correct theories earn points, and incorrect theories earn penalties.
