About the game
Take your zodiac sign to the stars in the light strategy game Zodiac Clash. To win, align four of your night stars from the outer ring to the center. This isn't as easy as it seems, though, as your opponent will mis-align them by spinning the rings of the solar system in an attempt to align their own stars! Each zodiac has a unique personality and game power, allowing the player to approach the game in a rule-breaking way every single turn. Master your zodiac's strategy to crush your opponents! Are you a controller of stars like Virgo? Can you manage destructive abilities with Aries? Do you flit between sides with the split personality of a Gemini? Zodiac Clash comes with all twelve zodiac signs in 3D miniature form, each standing about 1.5 inches tall on the four-tier holographic board. On your turn, perform any two of the following four actions: Move your zodiac piece 1 space Spin any ring one notch Place a star on an open space neighboring your zodiac piece Remove a star on a space neighboring your zodiac piece —description from designer
