A GAME MADE OF STARS

Astrology: A way for people to understand the ways of the universe with the help of the stars.

Astrologica is a game in which you can alter Planetary Alignments and Zodiac Houses along with the Zodiac Circle.
The three most important Circles in Astrology, the Zodiac, Planetary Lines and the Houses of the Zodiac Signs, are yours to arrange and shift.

Players in Astrologica are like Astrologists, argue about the differences astrology has been through over the years. Many cards of the game show that change, from traditional to modern astrology. One of the main reasons, was the discovery of new planets. Until recently, Astrologists weren’t aware of the existence of the planets in the far reaches of our solar system. Due to the discovery of Neptune, Uranus, Pluto and the consolidation of the Sun centered planetary system, astrology had to change. New ruling planets were established for the Zodiac Signs, Houses were shifted and the characteristics of each sign changed in order to be aligned with the new form of our solar system.

Most of the cards of Astrologica feature these changes, as each player makes the changes available through modern and traditional planetary seats and sign characteristics.

In few words...

Cards with Planetary Alignments and Alignments of Houses, help you gain extra points, while creating row of cards
with the Proper Signs, Planets, Houses and Elements might grant you victory at the endgame.

As for the players, well, they try to put the Zodiac Circle in order along with the Ruling Planets and Houses of the Signs with the help of the Meridian and Horizon's Movements on the board. Players can also win extra moves during their round or make their opponents lose moves.

The stars were always there. Our way of observing them through astrology changed, as we discover more and more of the universe we live in. An easy, competitive game destined for 2-5 players. Enjoy Astrologica by playing and learning of, the universe’s beauty combined with our imagination.
