From BoardGameGeek

Star Explorer is an international version of Night Sky Explorers, a game released in 2024 by Lucrum Games only in the Polish language version and a limited run in English, exclusively for Essen 2024. After selling out in two days, it was picked up by Queen Games for international release in 2025. Star Explorer features updated artwork and component material, but in terms of gameplay both versions are exactly the same. Discover the fragments of the night sky, look for the particular stars and draw precise maps of the constellations. But beware! You do not want the big constellations to overshadow the small ones. Each card in the game represents one of the most famous constellations. Your task is to mark them on the rotating map, following the special astronomical rules. Will your map be the most precise, granting you the name of the true Night Sky Explorer? In this game, players take on the role of astronomy enthusiasts who stare at the starry skies for hours. During the game, they will use their boards with rotating maps to mark the star constellations they see - each player marks their unique constellations on their maps. Points are awarded for each constellation marked on the map that contains the correct stars. Additionally, players receive points for placing their constellations in the right places on the map. The player with the highest total amount of points at the end of the game wins. -description from the publisher
