About the game

What you do in a play session

A Handful of Stars is the final title published by Treefrog Games and the third entry in the unofficial trilogy that began with A Few Acres of Snow. This time, the action shifts to outer space, where up to four players vie for control of star systems using refined deck-building, area influence, and resource management mechanics. The modular board ensures each game feels fresh, while route and network strategies add layers of depth. Expect volatile alliances, epic battles, and the constant feeling that the next turn could flip the game — literally, since space is a treacherous place. And yes, you’ll need a solid translation, as the game is text-heavy.
