Constellaris is a strategic tabletop game where players take on the roles of powerful celestial beings, each inspired by a constellation, competing to control the vast expanse of space. The game is played on a 9x9 grid representing sectors of space, where players aim to light up stars in each sector to gain points. By placing and connecting domino tiles, players activate their celestial characters’ actions, and their flourishes, which are unique to each celestial. These actions allow players to move, flare up their power, outshine opponents, illuminate sectors, and unleash powerful special abilities.

Points are earned by controlling sectors with your stars and by forming constellations that resemble domino pips. Players gain bonus points for the highest constellation they form in a sector. The strategic use of each celestial’s maximum radiance and careful management of actions are key to dominating the game.

Constellaris combines tactical gameplay with the visual appeal of celestial bodies and constellations, offering both depth and accessibility. With atleast 12 unique characters to choose from, each game is a new challenge, requiring players to adapt their strategies based on their constellation’s abilities and the board’s evolving state.
