The players are gods laying a picture into the night sky, one star at a time. Everyone knows which of the four images was chosen except one person, who has to blend in and work out what everyone else is drawing.

Who it's for

Groups who like social deduction but prefer creative expression over accusation, with five or six players making it sing.

Not for you if…

You want clear rules for what counts as a good clue: the whole thing runs on interpretation, and a table that reads pictures very differently will find rounds frustrating rather than fun.

Vibe's take

Quietly clever and often beautiful. You second-guess every star, and the finished constellation is worth looking at even when the round goes wrong.
