Nebula (EN)

In Nebula, you become the architect of your very own galaxy. You collect stars, from red giants to white dwarfs, through a clever selection mechanism that thematically plays with time. You then place each star on the right orbit and in the right constellation, all while respecting the laws of gravity. Personal and shared goals reward your best combinations, while black holes add a touch of tension to every decision. One magical detail: the pieces and boards glow in the dark, turning your galaxy into a genuine starry sky.

You will likely love Nebula if you fall for elegant placement games in the vein of Azul or Calico, where you optimise a personal board piece by piece. It is also a great family game: simple enough to teach newcomers, yet fitted with an advanced module to raise the challenge for experienced players.

What makes Nebula so special is its components: candy-like translucent stars set into recessed boards, and above all that glowing effect that switches on once the lights go out.

Nebula is the work of the designer duo Christian Bustos and Bernardo Vasquez, the same minds behind Whispering Woods. The luminous artwork is by Luna Vargas, who gives the cosmos warm and soothing colours.
