Description
An affectionately arranged goodnight game for 2-4 children Ages 3 ½ - 7.
There isn't a lot to this game. Roll the die and then move to the indicated color (or lose your turn if you roll the "sad moon"). If your move causes you to land on or pass over the blue Star space, then you get to hang a star over your house. If you land on the Owl space, you must give a star to another player to hang. When one player has placed four stars over his or her house, then all he needs to do is hang the moon to win the game.
When the game is done, hang the rest of the stars, turn out the lights, and enjoy the glow-in-the-dark panorama. A good first game for very young children, and a great "going-to-sleep" game for the end of a long day.

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Draft Order Manipulation — wherever you draft in the draft order, that determines your order for the next round. So, if you take a better piece, you'll be farther back. If you take a part a piece that no one really wanted the previous round, then you're going to be first the next round.
- Set Collection — Based off of the scoring parameters, you're going to place them in certain ways. Certain things like to be next to certain things. Other things like to be away from certain things. Stars want to be connected to these big constellations, but you also want a lot of small constellations, too.
- tile drafting — you are drafting these tiles. They have all kinds of cool celestial bodies that you're drafting, like stars and like planets and asteroids, satellites, all those good things. You're drafting them onto your own personal board, putting them wherever you want.
- variable scoring — the tiles for scoring, uh, they're double-sided, and what you can do is there's one side that's kind of like the standard scoring. The other one's like more the advanced scoring. So, you could just do them all standard, especially when you're learning. That's what we did. And then you can flip them all to uh the advanced version, the advanced side. Or what you can do is you can mix and match.
