SETI: Space Agencies Expansion

About this product

Powerful space organizations enter the search for alien life.

Expansion only. Requires SETI: Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence to play.

A deeper strategy expansion for SETI that adds asymmetric organizations, new alien species, quick-start options, signal tokens, and more strategic variety.

Product Description

Humanity’s search for alien life is no longer just a scientific mission. Now, powerful space agencies, research groups, private institutions, and ambitious organizations are stepping into the race.

SETI: Space Agencies expands SETI: Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence with new ways to shape your strategy from the very beginning of the game. Each player can take control of a unique organization with its own strengths, starting setup, and special abilities, giving every game a fresh strategic direction.

This expansion also adds new alien species, new project cards, quick start cards, and signal tokens that make scanning the stars even more rewarding. The quick start system helps players skip the slower opening and move into the action faster, while the new organizations create a more asymmetric and varied SETI experience.

For players who already enjoy the base game, this expansion adds more depth, more replayability, and more tough decisions in the mission to discover life beyond Earth.

Care & Maintenance

Keep the cards, tokens, and rule sheets dry and store them neatly after play. Because this is an expansion with many small cards and tokens, use bags or inserts to keep the new components separate from the base game components until you are ready to mix them in.
