Designed for 2-7 players, most sessions run 45-90 minutes, blending crisp planning with flavorful unpredictability as you strive to ascend your pawns by aligning with wandering planets in the Zodiac and gathering enlightenment cards along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach game feels tactile and immersive: you might feel the click of a pawn snapping into a key position after a well-timed teleport, or tense moments when a retrograde twist reshapes the board and reshuffles priorities. While outcomes depend on choices made, the unfolding card interactions and planet-based powers create opportunities to shift momentum at just the right moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlanetary powers spice up the strategy.
