## Description
In Stellium, you step into the shoes of a cosmic architect, shaping the newborn universe! The core idea is simple yet layered: you'll draw celestial bodies from a bag (represented by marbles with different textures, which adds a cool tactile element to help you guess what's coming) and place them on the board. Your goal is to fulfill specific contracts, guiding you in creating stellar patterns and arrangements.

Each type of celestial body you place has a unique effect on the board, altering the game's dynamic. For instance, a comet might 'push' other pieces, changing their positions and opening up new possibilities (or challenges!). The board is modular, so each game the universe's configuration will be different, ensuring Stellium never feels stale. It's an experience that blends abstract strategy, a touch of memory (especially when 'feeling' the marbles), and the satisfaction of watching your own cosmos take shape piece by piece. Get ready to build constellations and master space!
