Overview
What ABG knows 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!
