SETI: Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence is a 2024 board game by Tomáš Holek for one to four players, with sessions of about 160 minutes. Board Game Matcher describes it as grounding an exploration fantasy in real science: planets move around their orbits, so players cannot travel anywhere at will and must wait for positions to align. Multi-use cards force choices between playing a telescope upgrade at once and saving it for a later combination, while area majority scoring in distant star systems rewards different strategies, from collecting samples on planetary surfaces to chasing telescope signals and exoplanet discoveries. The game lasts five rounds, and passing early fixes a player's turn order. It also works as a solo game, and the page rates it medium to heavy in complexity.
