Navigate the dangerous waters of 17th century astronomy in this strategic Euro-style game where scientific discovery meets religious persecution. "And yet it moves," Galileo famously muttered—and now it's your turn to advance our understanding of the cosmos while carefully managing the looming threat of the Inquisition.

As a pioneering astronomer, your telescope becomes both your most valuable tool and your decision-making mechanism. Choose from five distinct actions that can be upgraded throughout the game, opening new strategic pathways. Scour the night sky to discover planets and star systems, collect colored lenses to make groundbreaking scientific breakthroughs, and carefully manage your reputation in a time when scientific truth could be deemed heresy.

The Inquisitors will inevitably come knocking—but the most clever astronomers can find ways to turn even these unwelcome visits to their advantage. Can you balance the pursuit of knowledge with the political realities of your time? With multiple paths to victory and varying strategies, this 90-minute game offers rich decision-making whether playing solo or with up to four aspiring astronomers.
