If anyone is interested in playing a game from their collection, please let me know. I am always open to new games.

SETI: Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence
Charles E. Beatley, Jr. Central Library, 5005 Duke Street, Alexandria, VA, USWe will be playing SETI: Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence with up to 4 players. If you have a copy of this game please let me know and I will open the event to more players. All experience levels welcome. Expect the game teach to start promptly within the first 10 minutes.
In SETI: Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, you lead a scientific institution tasked with searching for traces of life beyond planet Earth. Players will explore nearby planets and their moons by launching probes from Earth while taking advantage of ever-shifting planetary positions. Decide whether to land on their surface to collect valuable samples, or stay in orbit for a broader survey. Additionally, by directing your telescopes to gaze into distant star systems, you may detect traces of alien signals or undiscovered exoplanets, and collect promising data to examine and study back home. Back on Earth, you can invest in upgrading your equipment so you can analyze incoming data more efficiently, boost your telescope signal capacity, or increase your supply of resources—all to expand the scope of your search that could lead to a discovery of extraterrestrial life forms.
