In Constellations, you are going to explore the stars and the night sky so as to define constellations. You have to move strategically and collect the right stars, reserve patches of the sky for observation and explore the universe. Add your constellation to the night sky map you have in front of you and score points.

Constellations is based on the seven real types of stars in the Universe and the star cards that you draw during the game represent those types. For each constellation, a unique combination of star types will be needed to be placed in the sky. As the game advances and constellations fill up the night sky, players will have to fit hexes on the board in order to score points. The player who has collected the most points wins the game.

This is a game where using your puzzle skills will definitely be to your benefit, however there is no need for you to have any scientific knowledge. Actually, the game comes with an educational workbook that offers insight into the science and evolution of space.

Let’s explore the night sky!
