Read the full game description
Zodiac War is a rotating board game based on astrological themes. The game draws on authentic themes such as personalities of the signs, aligning planets and elements, and drawing on powers of tarot cards. The game is for 1-5 players and takes about 60-90 minutes to play. Astrology and Tarot authentically share an astrological theme and Zodiac War has been developed to merge these ideas into a fun board game. The unique rotating board is moved by players to align planets and elements with zodiac signs, consistent with the basics of astrology. Aligning the board wins star crystals, and three star crystals light up your constellation to win the game.
