The Stars Are Right

Players manipulate a 5x5 night-sky grid to form constellations and summon creatures from the Cthulhu Mythos. On a turn, a player can cycle a row by one space, flip a tile to its opposite face, or swap two adjacent tiles to create patterns that invoke ghouls, servitors, and Great Old Ones. Summoned creatures score points and grant abilities such as chained flips, pushes, and switches that let players reshape the entire grid. The first player to reach 10 points wins; points come from many small summons or fewer powerful beings that require more complex constellations.
