Setup

Place the wheel board, moon marker, stacks of colored tiles, and player tokens nearby.

The rules, step by step

Setup
To set up Nova Luna, place the central wheel board in the middle of the table with the moon marker positioned above it. Separate the tiles into stacks and place player tokens of your chosen color next to each participant. Determine a start player and place their token above the wheel directly beneath the moon to begin.
Objective
The main objective of Nova Luna is to be the first player to successfully complete all your tile requirements and place every single one of your player tokens onto the completed tiles, winning the game.
On your turn
On your turn, you may select one of the first three tiles clockwise from the current moon position. Move the chosen tile to your personal play area, advance the moon marker along the track by the number of steps indicated on that tile, and replenish the wheel space if needed. Play order is determined by whoever is furthest behind on the time track.
Scoring
Tiles feature color-coded objective requirements showing connected groups of specific colors. When your placed tiles form the required connected groups, you immediately place one of your player tokens on top of that tile to mark its completion.
Game end
The game concludes immediately when one player runs out of tokens by placing them all, or when all available tiles are completely exhausted from the game.
Tips
Pay close attention to the time track since taking high-cost tiles can cause you to miss several turns in a row while other players take multiple actions. Try to position versatile multi-color tiles strategically to satisfy overlapping objective chains simultaneously.
