Chart the Constellations

I played Chart the Constellations by 7Skyes

Chart the Constellations is a game about creating one constellation for each season by using a deck of cards to create the pattern. 

You start by dividing the deck into 4 smaller decks, each with 13 cards and laying them out on the table in any sort of pattern you like. You then eliminate the clubs and spades from the pattern and use the remaining cards to form the stars. 

The amount of diamonds and hearts will decide if the story is mainly about humans or animals and the clubs and spades are used to determine who the characters in the constellation’s story are, and what the morals of the story is. 

The game is also very open-ended to what kind of story you can make since the only aspects the game tells you are the characters and morals. 

Sometimes a story can have only a few characters but many morals, and sometimes there are many characters and few morals, so there is lots of variety in the types of stories you can tell and you can be as detailed or as vague as you like. 

I played only one year’s seasons and made 2 constellations featuring people and 2 featuring animals. You can read my playthrough HERE
