The Search for UAPs

Players act as astronomy enthusiasts working to locate and document unidentified aerial anomalies at the edge of space. On each round, players use telescope observations, camera captures, and research actions to deduce positions of objects—satellites, the ISS, the Hubble, meteor showers, and UAPs—relative to one another on a rotating sky map. Objects can occupy varying relations (adjacent, above, below, same quadrant, or opposite), and orbits rotate to change placements and adjacencies over time. Play focuses on logical deduction, pattern recognition, and timing as players photograph targets and piece together shifting spatial clues to identify and record the mysterious phenomena.
