About the game
A Brilliant Laser-Based Deduction Challenge! The Aerospace Department has sent us a mission: use laser beams to uncover the hidden positions, directions, and colors of mysterious planet-shaped pieces. By carefully analyzing the laser signals that bounce back, players must deduce the exact setup of the planets. But beware—lasers don't always behave predictably! With just a few components—2 Space Boards, 2 Planet Sets, and a Solution Sheet—this game delivers a clever, quick-playing deduction puzzle for 2 to 5 players in around 20 minutes. Recommended for ages 8 and up. Discover the position and ‘color’ of the planets using only reflected laser signals. A step up from Orapa Mine, this game offers a deeper level of logical challenge. —description from the publisher
