## Description
Embark on a cosmic journey! In Stellar, we take on the roles of amateur astronomers, the kind who gaze at the night sky in awe. While modern science helps us understand the universe, the pure wonder of contemplating the vastness above remains. The game invites you to calibrate your telescope (metaphorically, of course!) to capture the beauty of planets, moons, asteroids, interstellar clouds, black holes, and even satellites. All this while you assemble a personal night sky tableau, a cosmic work of art that's uniquely yours.

You have eleven rounds to play your cards wisely, choosing what to place in your 'telescope' and your 'notebook'. Each card represents a celestial object, and how you arrange them will determine your final score. It's a game that blends several mechanics: you'll need to manage your hand of cards effectively, keep an eye on what others are picking (open drafting!), try to dominate certain areas of your tableau (influence), and collect the right sets to maximize your points (set collection). The placement of the tiles (cards) on your personal board is crucial, so think carefully about where each star, planet, or comet will shine.

At the end of the eleven rounds, it's time to calculate who was the best stargazer and assembled the most spectacular sky. Stellar is a fast-paced, straightforward, and visually pleasing game, perfect for those who enjoy a strategic challenge without it dragging on. It's pure cosmic fun for two brilliant minds!
