About the game

What you do in a play session

Embark on a cosmic journey with Zodiac Clash, a light strategy game where your zodiac sign is the key to victory! The objective is simple yet challenging: align four of your night stars, connecting the outer ring to the center of the board. But don't be fooled, your opponents will do everything to thwart your progress, spinning the solar system's rings to mess up your plans and, of course, try to align their own stars. It's a celestial tug-of-war where the forecast is always turbulent! Each of the twelve zodiac signs comes with a unique personality and game power, meaning every match is a fresh experience. You can break the basic rules each turn, creating unexpected strategies and surprising your opponents. Will you master the art of controlling the stars like Virgo, use destructive abilities with the fury of Aries, or navigate between sides with the duality of Gemini? The game is a visual spectacle, featuring 3D miniatures of all twelve signs, each about 1.5 inches tall, atop a four-tier holographic board. On your turn, you have two actions to choose from four options: move your zodiac piece one space, spin any ring one notch, place a star on an open space neighboring your piece, or remove a star from an adjacent space. Prepare for an astrological clash where wit and adaptability are your greatest weapons!
