From BoardGameGeek

The classic game of jacks has been reinvented for a new space and time. This is Galactic Jaxx! Work to fill up the empty star spaces on your constellation cards to earn points and abilities. Spin the Drop Zone Spinner for an added challenge to your grab. Bounce the ball and try to grab the correct number of Jaxx. Each turn players try to complete their Constellation Cards by collecting and placing the correct colors of Jaxx onto their cards. In order to collect Jaxx players have to bounce the Space Ball and grab Jaxx before the ball hits the table a second time. A player's Star Gear will tell them how many Jaxx they need to collect in a turn. Take too many or too few Jaxx and your turn is unsuccessful; drop all of those Jaxx back into the center. The more a player succeeds the higher their Star Gear Tracker will go, but one wrong move and their Star Gear goes back to the start. Every successfully grabbed Jaxx a player gets goes onto their Constellation Card. Each constellation card requires a certain number and set of colors to complete. Once all those requirements are met, that player scores their card and gets a new Constellation. The first player to get 15 or more points, WINS! –description from designer
