Stars are your building blocks, and they come in different types: from imposing red giants to discreet white dwarfs. You can collect them from star clusters by investing time or risking a trip into chaotic deep space. But beware: placing them requires care, respecting the laws of gravity and forming constellations that make sense. Additionally, personal and shared objectives will guide your strategy, while dim stars remind you that even the universe has its life and death cycles. In the end, what matters is creating a galaxy that tells stories—and makes other players say 'wow' when they look at it. With mechanics that blend spatial puzzles and abstract strategy, Nebula is quick to learn but full of depth for those who enjoy planning every move. ## FAQ ### How many players can play Nebula? 2 to 4 players, with matches getting more interesting as the number of participants increases. ### How long does a game last?
