Looking north, you see a bright star that doesn't change its position as the night goes on... It's the star at the north pole: Polaris.

In Polaris, you’ll have to position your Stars in the night sky to form constellations and accomplish the game's objectives. 5 scoring phases will be played, which will get shorter and shorter, where the different moon phases will be vital to know where you can place your stars in each of them. On your turn, you'll only have to perform one of three possible actions: Draw Cards, Play Cards, or Take Shooting Stars. Whoever earns the most Victory Points at the end of the game will win.

Contemplation of the night sky has been an essential part of our culture on this planet. Its constellations have brought us together since our dawn to tell the great stories that define us.
