Moons and Stars is a handmade strategy board game by an artist using wood, campfire-hardened clay, canvas, and stones from the shores of Lake Ontario. It is based on a game that exists in his book series. It resembles a rustic game made by strange beings from another imaginary world. It plays like a combination of stratego and chess while capturing the randomizing excitement of being dealt a hand of cards. It begins when you roll all 16 of your 6-sided "ballit" game pieces, creating one of over 20,000 possible combinations. Gain victory by one of two paths: capturing all your opponent s Moons and Stars, or reaching your opponent s Treasure Stone. Use Paths, Safes, Pits, and Traps to change how Moons and Stars move around the board. Once the board is set, choose from a number of Deity Figurines that progress along notches in the board and unlock a variety of bonus abilities. The player with the best strategy wins. -description from designer
