In the Dusk Phase, each player will draw a constellation card on their turn and choose where to place their stars on the shared Night Sky Map following the pattern shown on the card. As the night draws on, more stars appear until a player draws a constellation card that can't be played. At this point, the initial board state is established and the Night Phase begins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePlacement rules shift when the Night Phase starts. Now parts of the constellation pattern may overlap stars already in play. Overlapped stars flip to their opposite side. Players take turns manipulating the Night Sky Map so that an entire row or column of seven stars align in their color. This is a shooting star. The stars in that row or column are removed from the board and a point is scored. The first player to score 5 points wins the game!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFor an added challenge, experienced players can add a chess timer with five-minutes per player to spot their five shooting stars. The first to spot five shooting stars or still have time left on their timer when their opponent runs out of time wins the game.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Breaking Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32913829396585,"sku":"BRK 110453","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0298\/9473\/8025\/products\/pic4348257.jpg?v=1604097029","url":"https:\/\/odinsplace.com\/products\/stars-align","provider":"Odin's Place","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
