Star Gazers

Star light, Star Bright, First star I see tonight, let it be part of a constellation!

In Stargazers, you're all trying to draw the constellations you see in the night sky, but naturally each of you sees something different.  In this play-and-pass game, you'll spot stars, then connect them with lines to make constellations. Each star can only be used in one constellation, so be fast to ensure your constellation uses the stars first! It's a mix of planning ahead and thinking in the moment.

Players will place 1 Star then take an action which includes drawing a Constellation card for scoring, drawing another Star, or protecting a Star they have previously drawn on the sheet. After the player finishes their turn, they pass their sheet to the left. This mechanism really shines with trying to maximize positions for yourself while also minimizing beneficial Stars for your opponent.  Players will find plenty of strategy as they search for the right constellations to match the sheets as they have been passed.

IMPORTANT: to play this print-and-play game, you will need to print 1 copy of the map sheet for each player and 1 copy of the 36 cards (included in the download). Each player will need a pen or marker of a unique color.

The print and play version of this game is designed by Chris Backe and originally Kickstarted by Benny Sperling of Roll and Write Revolution.
