Board Game - Nebula

«Nebula» — is an abstract strategic game in which you will collect stars from the nebula, where their clusters are concentrated, and place them in your galaxies, accomplishing shared and personal goals to earn victory points. Gather more victory points than your opponents to win.

«Nebula» combines the simplicity of your actions with the challenge of a complex «puzzle» to optimally place stars on your board to achieve as many different goals as possible. In «Nebula», the gameplay on your galaxy board, where no one disturbs you, harmonizes with a certain level of interaction, expressed in competition for stars on the nebula board.

The game lasts several rounds, during each of which participants take turns, starting with the first player and continuing clockwise.

On their turn, a player must perform several actions in sequence.

Receiving stars:

Stars can be obtained in two ways:

- wait: you move time tokens in the form of clocks, spending 5 movement points, and then take the stars lying before the clock tokens;

- turn to chaos: you return one of the stars from your observation area, and then draw 5 stars from the bag, keeping 2 of them for yourself.

Placing stars:

You can transfer up to 2 stars from the observation area to your galaxy board. Colored stars are placed in the main area following specific rules, while black stars are placed on a special scale on your board. When placing a black star, advance the black star token on the nebula board and apply the effect of the cell, if any.

Checking goal achievement:

Check if you've achieved any shared goals. If you completed a shared goal first, place your goal marker at the top of that card; otherwise, place it at the bottom.

Replenishing star clusters:

Replenish each star cluster that has 1 star left with random stars from the bag.

In the more complex variant of the rules, a value board with 3 scales is additionally used, the values of which will affect the earning of victory points.
