the Stars Are Right (boardgame)
Stars Are Right, is the new card/tile game by Steve Jackson Games. Steve Jackson, best known by his successful Munchkin series is aiming to be one of my favourite board games company.
The Stars are Right is a card game for 2 to 4 players with a playing time something less than an hour.
In The Stars Are Right, you take the role of a cultist, summoning Lovecraftian horrors from beyond time and space.
You’ll start small, bringing ghouls back to our reality. Invoke minor creatures to flip over a tile or push a row, creating the correct patterns to summon more and more powerful ones. Eventually, you’ll build a horde of Servitors. Change the skies, summon a Great Old One, and win!
Summon the Great Old Ones, who will shower you with power beyond your dreams. Or perhaps they’ll eat you. Or both.
What’s in the box:
80 cards, 25 double-sided tiles,rules.
Players: 2 – 4
Time: 30 – 60 minutes
Ages: 12 and up
