stella
Starseekers! Explore the sky and bring back some light to your world. Stella is a competitive game in the Dixit Universe.
In each round, players interpret Dixit cards on a board after receiving a common Clue word. Each player observes the Dixit cards and secretly associates these cards with the clue word. Players indicate on their erasable personal slates the Dixit cards that they choose.
Selecting the same Dixit Cards as the other players allows you to score more points. Conversely, selecting a card that no one else chooses may cost you dearly.
At the end of the fourth round, each player calculates their total score. The player(s) with the most points win(s)!
Take calculated risks, but beware of the fall.

Rules summary
Objective
Score the most points by guessing what others associate with the clue word.
Gameplay
- The game consists of 4 rounds.
- At the start of each round, reveal a new clue word. All players see the same word.
- Each player chooses 1 to 10 cards that they think are related to the clue word, marking each chosen card with a checkmark at the bottom left.
- Everyone reveals how many cards they chose, and the one who chose the most goes "in the dark". In case of tie, no player goes "in the dark".
- Starting from the scout, each player chooses 1 of their cards to reveal.
- If more than 2 players chose the same card, they all get a spark and score 2 points.
- If exactly 2 players chose that card, they each get a super-spark and score 3 points.
- If only that player chose that card, that player falls and cannot score any more sparks or super-sparks, nor be the scout this round.
- A fallen player's cards are still part of sparks or super-sparks.
- The round ends when all players either fall or have no cards remaining to reveal.
- During scoring if you are "in the dark" (chose most cards) AND you fell, then deduct 1 point for each spark and super-spark.
- After each round, 5 cards from a row are replaced and the scout goes to the next player.
End of the Game
The game ends after 4 rounds. The player with the most points wins. If there is a tie, they share the victory.
