HOW TO PLAY
1

Gather the group in an open area with a clear view of the horizon and night sky.

2

One player points out a bright star or planet near the horizon and asks the group to predict which direction it will appear to move.

3

After a set waiting period, the group checks the star's new position against their predictions.

4

Players whose predicted direction matched the star's actual movement earn a point.

5

The game continues with new stars chosen for each round, and the player with the most points at the end wins.
