SOLUNA

Stack Sun on Moon

Soluna is a stacking game; players use 12 wooden discs showing celestial symbols on both sides, and there are also seven stars used for scoring.

One player takes up all discs and drops the cautiously onto the table; this creates 12 „towers“ showing different symbols - there are sun, moon, stars and shooting stars. All discs must lie separately on the table, each disc constitutes one of the 12 starting “towers”. The younger player decides if he wants to begin or rather would have the second move.

Both players move alternately and choose a tower to place it on another tower while observing at least one of two rules: The two towers must be of the same height, that is, comprise the same number of discs, or both towers must show the same symbol on top. Both conditions can be, but need not be, complied with at the same time.

A tower can never be split again, that is, you can never move part of a tower, but must always move a complete tower and place it onto another tower. When one player cannot make a regular move in this way he has lost the game and the other player wins. The winner takes a star and the towers are dismantled in a way that the starting mixture of visible symbols is the same, that is, you do not turn over any of the discs to the other side. The loser chooses if he wants to begin. If you are first to win four stars you have won the game.

Soluna is another typical Steffen game and fits seamlessly into the series of elegant simple game with lots of depth, offering tactical fun with a celestial topic and mundane aggravation because you did not think ahead far enough.
