Have you tried Galileo Galilei? It’s by the same designer as SETI and I think it’s an even better game

Galileo Galilei
Discover what Galileo himself didn't, find new planets and star systems!

This board game is amazing!
It's super complicated and VERY true to the science. Every astrobiologist board game geek should get a copy! I'm SO impressed at the research behind this game.
I would LOVE to review this game! Anyone know how/where I could do that?

The C++ library provides input/output, basic spatial operations such as conversion between spherical coordinates and HEALPix pixels, and also sophisticated spatial operations such as querying cones or polygons, as well as upsampling/downsampling, smoothing, and fast spherical harmonic

This sounds very doom-ish but SciX works great for astro, I have made the switch entirely from ADS and haven't lost any function or speed. 🔭 (would be interested in hearing about usage in other fields)
Well this is worrying. NASA has maintained funding for ADS but not SciX (a broader database). In response, management is planning to *close* ADS in Feb 2026, forcing all users to switch to SciX. ☄️🔭

I'm happy to report that "Scenario 2" won't be necessary, as NASA has just communicated to us that SciX funding will continue in 2026 (albeit at a reduced level). Therefore, we will not be forcing astronomers to leave ADS, but rather develop a plan that allows a longer transition.
