About the game
When day gives way to night, Mother Nature unveils one of the greatest spectacles ever witnessed by humankind. The night sky sparkles with a myriad of radiant points: the stars. For centuries, we’ve studied their movements, organizing them into what we now call “constellations”—evocative names for celestial patterns that resemble objects, mythical creatures, animals, or ancient gods. Will you be able to find your constellation and trace it in A Sky of Stars? Game Objective A Sky of Stars is a game that sparks the imagination and challenges players’ abstract thinking. Each player will connect the stars indicated by the Star Die, sketching the shape of new constellations on their personal Sky. Each creation is then evaluated by the other players, who must guess what object or shape is depicted. The player who designs the most compelling constellations—and successfully interprets those drawn by others—will emerge victorious. A Sky of Stars is an original roll-and-write game with a playful guessing mechanic. Try to draw your most inspired constellation… while the other players try to figure out what it represents! —description from the publisher
