Manipulate the Universe using stars, planets, comets, supernovas, black holes and gravitational waves to impose other players !!!

Use Stars to win victory points or create your constellation. Use Planets to bonus your Stars. Use Comets to destroy Planets. Use Supernova (massive explosions) to flip the adjacent tiles (which are not on their side of the Universe). Use Black Holes to engulf and disappear adjacent tiles (which are not on their side of the Universe). Used Gravitational Waves to alter the SPACE (move an adjacent tile to another place) or TIME (flip a tile for example, a Black Hole disappear or to make it appear a Star that was destroyed).

Game Turn: In his turn a player can do one of the following:

 Steal tile (depending on the level of difficulty, store up to 2 in hand) and place it.
 Not steal or play tile and activate the effect of a tile panel (Gravitational Wave one, for example).
 Do not steal or play tile and activate GRAVITY (move any tile to an adjacent space)

Victory: CONSTELLATION Game Mode (2-6 players): The player who first represent their constellation on the board, wins.

UNIVERSE Mode game (2-4 players): The player with most stars in his "universe", after playing all the tiles, win.
