Description

Discover stories yet untold by the stars in Starline Hill, a simple-to-learn and quick-to-play strategy game in which you and your opponent will spot stars in the night sky to form constellations!

Place your stars carefully to solidify your territory - restricting your opponent's options while trying to form constellation shapes yourself.

When you claim a constellation using your stars, neutral stars are left behind which can be spotted in straight lines. This could lead to a big positional advantage for you - or your opponent, if they're well prepared.

Rules include the full version of the game, which typically runs 40-60 minutes, as well as an easy-to-set-up quick version that typically runs 20-25 minutes.

Quotes (from this video)
  • And don't forget to shoot for the stars, my friends, because if you miss, you land in the moon. I don't know if that's the right phrase, and I'm pretty sure it isn't, but do it anyway.
  • So, with all that being said, I say we shoot for the moon so we can land among the stars and we learn a little bit more about Starline Hill. Let's do it.
