NOVA (2017)

About this game

On the old star map, the constellations are only dimly recognizable — or not visible at all. Let them shine again in NOVA. Lay your star tiles on the star map so that stars of the same type touch. This earns you points, and on certain spots, you can even score bonuses. On some places on the star map, you can lay only certain types of stars, or perhaps none at all. Opponents want to place their star tiles in good places as well, so keep an eye on everyone's possible moves. Whoever makes the most points wins!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
