On the island of Choros, located in Chile, in the Coquimbo region, there is a small bird from the group of petrels, called Yunco. This bird of nocturnal and oceanic habits uses the moon and the stars to guide its flight and, therefore, is seriously affected by light pollution from cities, which causes shocks as a result of disorientation. In this game you will roll dice, you will take one to select the best route to help the Yunco in its flight, to get food and avoid hitting an obstacle, as well as to be able to return to the island and nest. The other die, you will use to complete puzzles of nests and luminaire improvement. —description from the designer En la isla de Choros, ubicada en Chile, en la región de Coquimbo, habita una pequeña ave del grupo de los petreles, llamada Yunco. Esta ave de hábitos nocturnos y oceánicos, utiliza la luna y las estrellas para orientar su vuelo y, por lo tanto, se ve gravemente afectada por la contaminación lumínica de las ciudades, lo que provoca choques producto de la desorientación. En este juego ayudarás al Yunco en su vuelo para conseguir comida y evitar chocar con algún obstáculo, para poder volver a la isla y anidar. —description from the designer (Spanish)
