Nekonyancer[img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/https___snipboard.io_4wmf78.jpg[/img] Tonight, the sky is beautiful and full of stars, but such beauty is fleeting. Immortalize it by drawing constellations, planets, and even shooting stars, if you're lucky. [red]Better hurry; the sun will rise soon![/red] [green][tip] This tutorial is best viewed on a computer![/green]1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
NekonyancerIn *Look at the Stars,* one card will be flipped over each turn, revealing two *constellation lines* that all players must draw somewhere on their personal boards. Points are awarded at the end of the game for a variety of criteria, but it's all boils down to how intelligently you placed your lines! [green]At the end of the game, whoever has the most points wins![/green]2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
Nekonyancer[blue]*The first card*[/blue] has already been flipped over, and the lines on the card are now [red]*shown on your board,*[/red] waiting to be locked into place.4player-table-11941354-card-border000shapes 7 player-table-11941354-card-border 6
Nekonyancer[blue]There are some strict rules for line placement. I'll go over them now.[/blue] Lines must always be drawn between two STARS. Planets (or other objects) don't count. [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/https___snipboard.io_0zB1ng.jpg[/img]5player-table-92143487-svg001
NekonyancerYou can have multiple lines coming from the same star... [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/https___snipboard.io_yCAJzi.jpg[/img] and you can have intersecting lines... [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/https___snipboard.io_Z407Jg.jpg[/img]6player-table-92143487-svg001
Nekonyancer[red]... But your lines cannot directly overlap.[/red] Once you connect two stars, you can't connect them again, nor can you ever disconnect them!7player-table-92143487-svg001
NekonyancerNow, let's maneuver the current pair of lines so that it looks like this. If you like, use a keyboard, like [blue]*this handy textbox*[/blue] says! [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/https___snipboard.io_89z4aJ.jpg[/img] *Once it's in place, click on the "Continue" button.*8player-table-92143487-svg001keys-notice 7
Nekonyancer*Great!* So, why did we place the lines where we did? Well, we were connecting them to some pre-placed lines on our board, and we're trying to replicate the patterns shown on [red]*these bonus cards.*[/red]1star16353b5264009f00star1 6 star2 6
NekonyancerEvery time we replicate a pattern, we receive the reward shown in the bottom-left corner of the card. [red]*This one*[/red] will give us 3 points at the end of the game for each "+" we made. And [blue]*this one*[/blue] will let us immediately place a single line somewhere. [green]These rewards can be obtained multiple times![/green]2star16353b5264009f00star1 6 star2 7
NekonyancerThe next card has been flipped. Let's keep building that "+"! *Maneuver the lines like so...* [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/https___snipboard.io_TmKVrD.jpg[/img] *... and click on "Continue" when you're done!*3player-table-92143487-svg6353b5264009f01
NekonyancerCheck it out! A *"3"* appeared next to the "+" we've been making in the corner. That's because there are three lines touching each other, forming a *constellation.* At the end of the game, we'll get points for each constellation equal to the number of lines in it, from a *minimum of 3 to a maximum of 8.*1player-table-92143487-svg6353b53c434bd01
NekonyancerHowever, if you have multiple constellations with the same number of lines, [red]you'll only score for one of them![/red] [green]So to maximize your points, you should have a 3-line constellation, a 4, a 5, a 6, a 7, and an 8![/green]2player-table-92143487-svg6353b53c434bd01
NekonyancerLet me say that again a different way. At the end of the game, if you had any constellations with *3* lines in them, you'll score *3 points total.* [blue]Ditto for constellations with 4/5/6/7/8 lines![/blue] There's a reminder of all this in the corner of your board: [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/https___snipboard.io_QJOpF0.jpg[/img]3player-table-92143487-svg6353b53c434bd00
NekonyancerLooks like we can complete our "+" with the next pair of lines, but we'll need to *turn* the card to do it! This can be done with the spacebar or by clicking on the Turn arrow. *Maneuver the pair like so, and then click continue. * [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/https___snipboard.io_l8I5kg.jpg[/img]4player-table-92143487-svg6353b53c434bd01
Nekonyancer*Great!* Our plus has an extra line sticking out of it, but it's still valid. We'll get an extra 3 points for this at the end of the game! I'll go ahead and place this next pair for you. From now on, I'm going to skip turns here and there.1player-table-92143487-svg6353b552bd77900
Nekonyancer*Ooh, this pair is perfect!* It will let us replicate the [blue]*other goal card*[/blue] - three segments in a diagonal line! *Place it like so, then click Continue.* [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/https___snipboard.io_TX0dMW.jpg[/img] As you can see, "turned" versions of goal cards are valid.1star26353b574d816f00star2 7
NekonyancerSince we replicated the pattern, we immediately get the reward: one free line that we can orient however we like. *Let's place it here so we can start building another +!* [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/https___snipboard.io_TEOyaM.jpg[/img]1player-table-92143487-svg6353b57ced85f01
NekonyancerThat was the sixth turn of the game, and [blue]*the first stack of cards*[/blue] was completely emptied. [red]Dawn is coming![/red] The bottom two rows of our board are now locked. We can't place anything there anymore!1player-table-92143487-svg6353b5fa2222601pile1 7
Nekonyancer*Wow, look at that! A shooting star!* When shooting stars appear, we must choose how long we want their tails to be: *1, 2, or 3 lines long.* [green]At the end of the game, they're worth as many points as the length of their tails![/green]1player-table-92143487-svg6353b69678bb401
NekonyancerHowever, shooting stars can be hard to fit onto our boards because [red]they cannot connect with any normal constellation lines.[/red] *Select 3-line at the top. Then position the star as shown, and click on "Continue."* [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/https___snipboard.io_KyjTW2.jpg[/img]2player-table-92143487-svg6353b69678bb401
NekonyancerJust one more thing to mention: *planets.* Planets are worth *1 point* at the end of the game for each constellation that is *orthogonally or diagonally adjacent,* even if some of them have the same number of lines. [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/https___snipboard.io_WuAf8G.jpg[/img] In this example, there are three constellations adjacent to a planet, scoring 3 points.2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment6353b6b9cbbf700
NekonyancerThere are a few more *special objects* (like galaxies, twinkling stars, and novas) that can be obtained from bonus cards, but they'll only appear if you enable them in the lobby options! [green][tip] If you play with them, you can see how they work by hovering over their bonus cards.[/green]3archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment6353b6b9cbbf700
Nekonyancer*Okay, that's everything!* The game will continue as you've seen until all *18* cards have been played. Needless to say, everyone's boards will get very cramped, but players can always pass by clicking on [red]*"Skip this card"*[/red] at the top! [green]After 18 cards, we go to scoring![/green]4archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment6353b6b9cbbf700skipCard_button 6
NekonyancerEach player scores... [red]Points for having constellations of certain sizes.[/red] (3 points if you have a Size-3, 4 points if you have a Size-4, etc.) [blue]1 point for each constellation adjacent to a planet.[/blue]5player-table-11941354-planets-tooltip6353b6b9cbbf701player-table-11941354-constellations-tooltip 6 player-table-11941354-planets-tooltip 7
Nekonyancer[red]Points for shooting stars.[/red] Each is worth as many points as the length of its tail. [blue]Points for replicated bonus cards.[/blue] [green]The total will be written here![/green]6player-table-11941354-shooting-stars-tooltip6353b6b9cbbf700player-table-11941354-shooting-stars-tooltip 6 player-table-11941354-star1-tooltip 7 player-table-11941354-star2-tooltip 7 player-table-11941354-total-tooltip 8
