The Solar System
A downloadable game
The Solar System is an educational board game that aims to make our Solar System known through play.
Players must pilot a probe to explore the Solar System’s planets and complete the mission received as quickly as possible. To do this, players will have to drive their probe engines and exploit the gravitational force of the planets, taking care to avoid failures and unexpected events that await them among the asteroids or along the orbits around the planets.
Will the players be able to complete their mission by avoiding colliding their probes, sending them crashing into the Sun, or losing them at the edge of the Solar System?

Hello there and congrats on your game! You're welcome to showcase your game to more people at our server: https://discord.gg/gZ7yEDSq
As it is a board game I didn't actually play it now, but the boards and every other art looks really nice, filled with information and pictures to showcase what is being taught. I honestly believe there is a lot of room in the industry for these play to learn initiatives, and you are on a good track!
One suggestion is to attempt to do a video where you play a session so people can be more likely to play the game and perhaps learn how to play it in an easier way.
If I were a teacher I would definetely attempt this on class with my students, and if I was a student, I would love if my teacher did something like this!
Good job and keep the good work! Don't forget to play other games on the Jam to help them out with feedback as well!
