Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- dice drafting — When dice are rolled, everyone gets a chance to use them on their turn, choosing how to use them from the available pool.
- Roll and Write — This is a roll and write style game where players roll dice to determine coordinates on the board to lock in stars, combining them to make constellations.
- set collection — Players collect small and large constellations, as well as asterisms, to score points.
- Variable player powers — Completing constellations can grant special abilities, and filling out research tabs unlocks extra special abilities as the game progresses.

Quotes (from this video)
- And half the art you make yourself in this game because this is a roll and write style game.
- I just really like whether it's on um like when it's on other players turns that you are still active. It's not like you're just waiting for everybody to go. you're still interactive and playing during the whole time even while everybody everybody's rolling.
- I never felt like a turn was wasted, which is a really nice feeling cuz sometimes in rolling right games, um you just feel like you're out of luck and that you can't do anything with that. But I did not get that at all when we were playing this game.
- The solo mode is identical to the multiplayer mode. There's nothing you have to change because you are just still rolling the dice and then dealing with the results.
- you're always progressing in this game, which is a really good feeling.
- I keep games in my purses. And books, let's be real.
