Overview

What ABG knows about this game

Populate the night sky with beautiful constellations assembled from uniquely shaped tiles. Solani is an abstract tile-laying and drafting game for 1-4 players. Players will assemble constellations to be set into the sky, taking turns selecting two different shapes of tiles in a unique “double-headed” snake draft, before laying them onto their personal board. Properly connect the stars, observe the roaming planets, and correctly identify the placement of celestial bodies to complete your constellations puzzle in the best possible way. After twelve rounds of play, Coyote grows impatient; he grabs the edge of the buckskin rug and tosses the rest of the quartz skyward - creating the Milky Way. —description from the publisher
