       On Monday night I was lucky enough to host a group of Gaia Mission astronomers to play test my Acrux board game, which is based largely on Gaia and Hipparcos data.#GaiaMission #Astrodon #Astronomy #BoardGames

       After a series of play testing events I've improved the board for the game to better distinguish the sectors, clarify the spectral types and (upon the advice of the Gaia Mission astronomers) introduce some cooler stars to better represent real star distribution.

       The astronomers liked the game and were especially impressed that the board indicates the direction to the galactic centre!
