Greece circa 800 BCE As war and famine threatened the Greek city-states, people despaired, and there seemed to be no way out. They begged the stargazers to call on the heavenly forces of mist, shadow, fog, and darkness to change the future. Which force will deliver them from crisis? Luckily the light always shines. Push rows of tiles so that your color tiles for a continuous path from one side of the board to the other. Be on your guard as the tiles are shifted at every turn. Will you conceal your color from other players, or with more than two players, will luck or cooperation lead to victory? STELLA IS ONLY AVAILABLE AS PART OF THE ANCIENT WORLD MULTI GAME SYSTEM —description from the publisher
