About the game
In Stars of Ilumeïa, players compete to become the most powerful god in a distant galaxy. To do so, they must win the favour of the many civilisations and fulfil their prophecies. The players collect star cards and assemble them into constellations according to certain placement rules. For this, they receive victory points or other bonuses from the civilisations. On the star cards, not only the number and position of the stars must be considered, but also other characteristics such as comets, symmetry, flaming stars and much more. New star cards can be acquired from a display. Particularly large constellations score a lot of points, but it can also be advisable to quickly create many small constellations. It is also important to remember to generate additional divine energy with certain constellations, which enables more actions per turn. If a constellation has special characteristics, energy cubes can be used to claim particularly strong bonuses from some civilisations, but the amount of available energy is limited. —description from the publisher
