In Stars of Ilumeïa, you compete to become the most powerful deity in a distant galaxy. To do so, you must win the favour of the many planets and fulfil their prophecies.

You collect star cards and assemble them into constellations according to specific rules. In return, you receive victory points or other bonuses from the planets. On the star cards, you must not only consider the number and position of the stars, but also other features such as comets, symmetry, flame stars, and much more. New star cards can be purchased from a display. Particularly large constellations earn you a lot of points, but it may also be advisable to quickly create many small constellations. You must also try to generate additional divine energy with certain constellations, which allows you to perform more actions per turn. If a constellation fulfils special characteristics, you can claim particularly strong bonuses on some planets with energy cubes, but the energy available to you is limited.

In Mark Veit's exciting solo mode, the galaxy must be saved from the rule of the sinister deity Obzqurion. Who will set the most powerful celestial signs for the planets of Ilumeïa?
