Nova Luna

Players draft tiles from a shared wheel and add them to their personal tableau, creating tasks and colored adjacency patterns to satisfy requirements. Each tile introduces one or more tasks; completing a task requires surrounding it with tiles of specific colors and lets the player place a marker on that task. Players plan ahead as every placed tile creates new tasks and opportunities. Turns revolve around selecting a tile from the wheel, placing it, and resolving any completed tasks. The game ends when a player has placed all of their markers.

Rules questions

Answered from the rulebook by Ludoya's rules assistant.

Can I take any tile from the Moon Wheel or only those on the selection track?

You take tiles from the selection track; after you take a tile you refill the selection track from the Moon Wheel and then resolve the rest of your action (including advancing the moon marker). (p3)

When I take a tile, how far do I move my moon marker?

After taking a tile you advance the moon track by the tile’s printed time cost (the number shown on the tile). (p2, p3)

Do corner tasks count tiles diagonally or only orthogonally?

Corner tasks count only orthogonally adjacent tiles; groups of the same color that are orthogonally connected are counted as groups for task fulfillment. (p4)

Does the tile I just placed count toward fulfilling its own corner tasks?

No — the tile you place does not count as part of the surrounding color groups for its own corner tasks (see the examples illustrating origin-color exclusion). (p4, p5)

How is the solo game different — what changes should I watch out for?

Solo play uses a two‑phase sequence with token stacks, special selection‑track rules, and adjusted scoring/penalties specific to solo mode; follow the solo setup and procedures listed for single‑player games. (p6)
