PIXEL is a board game developed by INAF in collaboration with the GAME Science Research Center. PIXEL simulates astrophysics research, with a focus on the observation and study of cosmic bodies at varying resolutions.
The objective of the game is to measure astrophysical observables with ever-increasing resolution. Players must manage the research center, build an observation strategy using ground-based and space-based telescopes, upgrade instruments, publish articles, lead their team, and raise funds to finance new projects. The player with the most scientific prestige wins at the end of the game.
