Constellations (2017)

About this game

In Constellations: The Game of Stargazing and the Night Sky, players compete to populate the sky with real constellations. In the game, players draw star cards, which represent the seven types of stars in the universe. Each constellation requires a unique combination of stars to play on the board. As the game progresses and the night sky fills up, players must use their puzzle skills to fit the last few constellations on the board. The player with the most constellation points at the end of the game wins! The game also includes an educational workbook about stellar evolution and the history and mythology of constellations.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.7/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
