Search for Planet X

Average rating of 4 out of 5 stars

I was in love with this theme- be an astronomer searching the night skies- yes! But I quickly realized, as I have with other games in the deduction genre, the theme was not enough to save it from being a maths exercise. It wasn't for me, but if you love pure deduction, this may be the game for you. It's very simple to teach and play, it's clever, and the app ensures there are endless challenges to play and is great for solo gamers who want to enjoy deduction as well.

The Best Competitive Deduction Game

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

The Search for Planet X fits all player counts and is the definitive competitive deduction game for me. I can't recommend it enough.

A pretty good puzzle

Average rating of 4 out of 5 stars

It's very much group puzzle solving. I hope they come up with an expansion to add more elements but otherwise it s a fun game. I think the board is unnecessarily large.

Great deduction game with a great theme

Average rating of 4 out of 5 stars

The theme of this game gives it an immersive atmosphere as you publish theories and search for Planet X. The app integration is very well done and works smoothly. The AI provides a challenging, fun solo experience as well.

Best logical deduction game I've played

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

I love logical deduction games. I grew up on Mastermind, and recently enjoyed Cryptid. But the Search for Planet X is my favorite because not only is the logic game complex, it involves some risk-taking and ingenuity, and the theme is just awesome.

Wonderful solo game!

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

Great game for solo! Really fun logic/deduction game, scratches an itch not many solo games can scratch.

Deduction at its best

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

The best way I can put it is there it gives you some of the best satisfying moments when the pieces start clicking. My wife spent all night beaming that she found X EVEN after I did first. It makes you feel good.

Solid Puzzler

Average rating of 4 out of 5 stars

I really enjoyed The Search for Planet X. I'm a big fan of logic puzzles and this game delivers. Its got a good enough set up to always play an effective puzzle. My only complaint of the game (not really a complaint but still) is that I'm not really sure why it's a board game. It's fun but just a logic puzzle. I had fun with both the solo and multiplayer modes but my friend was just as confused as to why it had to be a board game. Either way, bunch of fun and looking forward to my next game.
