Starligned

Use your telescope to search the night sky for the most beautiful constellations. It can be difficult to get everything in the picture and the other astronomers will make it as difficult as possible for you. Get the most points by capturing the most beautiful starry sky. You do this by playing a row of ten star cards, using their effects cleverly and passing cards tactically. There are five constellations that you can find. Each card is divided into two halves, the highest value half has a ful version of the constellation and the lowest value half has an incomplete version of the constellation. Each star card has an effect which can be used to sabotage other players’ telescopes or increase your own telescopes value. The game is played in two stages of five rounds. Each round consists of the following four phases: Each player plays a card face down from their hand in front of them. All players reveal the card in front of them. If there is a card with the stop effect in play, you skip the next phase. In turn order, the players check for moon bonusses and play the effect shown on their played card. Each player chooses one card in their hand to rotate and passes their hand to the player to their left. When players have a total of ten star cards played in front of them, the game ends and the final scoring begins. The players add up the points shown on the top half of the card in front of them and apply any end game effects that are visible. The player with the most points, wins the game! —description from the publisher
