Designed by a NASA expert, this game allows players to explore constellations, collect stars, and learn about the night sky, making it a perfect blend of fun and education for families and friends. ## Description Product Description Constellations: The Game of Stargazing and the Night Sky is a card-based game that gives 2-4 players the chance to explore our amazing night sky, the science and mythology behind stars and constellations, and have fun competing as they piece together the constellations in the night sky as they collect the correct star cards. Based on real science and constellations you can recognize in your own sky. Turn off the lights, and the stars in the constellations glow-in-the-dark! From the Manufacturer Designed by space mission experts, have fun learning about the night sky stars, constellations, and science. Players race to collect the right number and types of stars to complete constellations to fit the needed pattern -- are B-type stars or F-types required to complete the constellation? Strategically collect the right stars, reserve patches of the sky for observation and explore the universe. Once you have your constellation, add it to the map of the night sky being assembled right in front of you. The closer you get to putting together the actual map of the heavens, the more points you score. The game involves drawing Star Cards, which represent the seven types of stars classified by astronomers. Each constellation requires a unique combination of star types to place in the sky. As the game progresses and more constellations fill up the night, players must use their puzzle skills to fit the constellation hexes on the board to score the most points. The player with the most constellation points at the end of the game wins. Great STEM Game: Learn about star science and the stories behind many constellations! We have included a twelve-page Stargazing Handbook with the game. This special feature enhances game play and the educational experience by providing more information about star science and constellations. Read a brief introduction to astronomy, and then turn to the science behind the stars. Find a great chart that outlines the main sequences of stars, and learn how astronomers classify different star types. Enjoy reading the brief stories behind the different constellations in the game. In the end, complete the special constellations crossword puzzle! 36 Constellation Cards Thirty-Six Hex Constellation Cards, on heavy cardboard. All original art, with scientifically correct star placement and pattern. The Stars for each Constellation On the reverse of each Constellation Hex Card, find the number and classes of stars that make up the constellation and clues for how the constellation fits in the night sky. Star Cards 72 Star Cards with the stars classified using letters O, B, A, F, G, K, and M, which is a short code summarizing the star's properties such as temperature, density, and composition. Inspiring the next generation through engaging space-related STEM games.

The game instructions are easy to read and follow for the most part. Instructions are well organized. This makes it easy to refer back to the instructions when we need rules clarification as the game proceeds. The point chips have not been used yet - we keep a written score as we go. So we have not used the chips. The part about learning the constellations is minimal. We are learning what constellations are not adjacent to one another, but not from the game itself - mostly from just reading the hex cards. The factoids on playing card are fun to read while waiting a turn. Constellations are drawn in an attractive manner, but we have not gotten them to glow. Very fun for the entire family. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun for a space unit in homeschool! *by C***Y on Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2020* I got this for a fun game to have n our homechool when we started doing our Astronomy unit. It's more of an aesthetically pleasing game for the space aspect while the game itself doesn't have much to do with space. But it still was a good addition and the instructional booklet does give some educational information about different types of starts so I appreciated that. Still great game to have for the family ( : ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good game, needs better "fun facts" *by A***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2018* A very fun and entertaining game, good mixture of luck and strategy. The cards are really pretty and enjoyable to look at and it is easy to learn the rules. I also like that the game is still good when it is only two players, a rare feat.The only downside is the facts; it would be so much more relevant and fun to have facts that are interesting to people outside of astronomy. Sizes and lifespans of star classes are... dry. Why not give some information about the constellations in the game so that people learn more about the night sky and can use the knowledge? After only two or three games we completely ignore the facts part of the cards, which is sad since we love observing the night sky and thought this game would help us share our love with others. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/55391727-xtronaut-enterprises-constellations-the-game-of-stargazing-and-the-night](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/55391727-xtronaut-enterprises-constellations-the-game-of-stargazing-and-the-night) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
