Moniplayingames: Readability of info increased by creating line per item for list of deck contents

==Winning condition==
The game ends when a player has 22 points or more. The player with the most points wins.

==Gameplay==
The game starts in the day. When an exam ends, the phase switches from day to night, or vice versa.

Each player follows these two steps in turn, until no one is left to play for this exam.

Then, all players who do not lose their exam score points accordingly.

===On Your Turn===
Draw a single card from the 4 piles of magic cards and place them face-up.

Instead of doing so, a player can use a vision potion to look at 2 cards and choose 1 to draw.

===Validate a Diploma===
If you have the exact number of rabbits corresponding to the value of one of the available diploma, you may take it. Doing so ends the exam.

A diploma is worth as many points as its value.

During the day, diploma of values 4 to 8 are available. During the night, diploma of values 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11 are available.

==Effects==
===Rabbit===
You can obtain a diploma if you have exactly as many rabbits as the value of that diploma.

If you have more rabbits than the value of the biggest diploma, you will lose your exam.

===Black Cat===
Each black cat is worth 1 point at the end of the exam.

If you have 3 or more black cats, you will lose your exam.

===Wool Ball===
The wool ball takes up one cat, so you can have more and keep its bonus points.

===Vision Potion===
Secretly look at two cards from the top of a stack of magic cards. Keep one and put the other in its original place.

===Grimoire===
When you draw the grimoire, take the feather. If someone else has the feather, steal it from them.

The feather is the only card that can be stolen from you.

It is worth 3 points at the end of the exam.

Moniplayingames: One word change on nova rule. And bolded the most important scoring parts of the rules as new players often make a non-scoring cluster.

== Constellation ==
A constellation is a set of lines that are connected (either by sharing the same star or intersecting).

A constellation must contain a minimum of 3 lines and a maximum of 8 to score points . A single line, 2 connected lines, or a set of 9 or more lines are not constellations. Shooting stars are not constellations.

For each constellation, the player earns a number of victory points equal to the number of lines in that constellation. However, if several constellations contain the same number of lines, only 1 of them earns victory points . The player marks on their board the constellations they have drawn and adds up the points. In this way, it is possible to earn up to 33 points if all 6 possible constellations are drawn (of 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 lines).

== Planets and Shooting Stars ==
Each planet awards a number of points equal to the number of
constellations adjacent to it, even if these constellations have an
identical number of lines.

Each shooting star awards 1 point for each line in it.

== Point Bonus cards ==
Completing the shape for a Point Bonus card (five-point star) grants 3 points.

Point bonus cards are numbered 1 to 10 are based on this order : https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/themereleases/current/games/lookatthestars/220921-1839/img/stars1.png

== Power Bonus cards ==
Completing the shape for a Power Bonus Card (seven-point star) grants the option to draw one of the symbols listed below (this bonus may be skipped).

Basic

Planet: Draw a new planet on an unused star (that no line or object touches).

Line: Draw a line between 2 adjacent stars.

New Stars: Draw 2 new stars in a space that does not contain any stars, respecting the position of the star grid. These stars can then be used to draw lines.

Galaxy: Draw a galaxy that covers 2 unused stars that are adjacent horizontally. The galaxy must be adjacent to the constellation that earned the bonus. A galaxy earns 2 victory points at the end of the game.

Twinkling Star: Draw a twinkling star on an unused star. A twinkling star earns 3 victory points if it is adjacent to exactly 2 constellations at the end of the game.

Experienced

Nova: Draw a nova on a star in an existing constellation. This constellation can now score with 9 or 10 lines. As with a normal constellation, it will earn 1 point per line at the end of the game. As usual, if several constellations have the same number of lines, only one of them will score victory points.

Luminous Aura: Draw a luminous aura on a star in an existing constellation. It is not possible to draw multiple luminous auras in the same constellation. From now on, you can’t add lines to this constellation. A luminous aura is worth 2 victory points at the end of the game.

Crescent Moon: Draw a crescent moon on an unused star. Each constellation which has at least 1 star in a vertical or horizontal alignment with the crescent moon scores 1 additional victory point at the end of the game. You can only draw one crescent moon per game.

Black Hole: Draw a black hole on an unused star. From now on, you cannot draw on the adjacent stars. At the end of the game, score 1 point for each unused star adjacent to the black hole. You can only draw one black hole per game.
