gravitysuperstar
At the edge of known space, the most famous adventurers converge on a strange little planet that is uniquely capable of attracting precious stardust with its befuddling gravity. These adventurers are there to collect as much of this rare resource as they can, while their rivals constantly try to steal it. You are one of these superstars on a quest for wealth, and you must overcome the gravitational challenges set before you!
What is really original about Gravity Superstar is the manner in which the players' pawns move: Each turn, they move one or two spaces, then they are affected by gravity, which makes them fall until they are stopped by a platform. This effect is made possible by the fact that the pawns are used lying down on the board. Thus, they move up (above their head), down (below their feet), left, or right.
During its movement, a pawn can collect stars (to score points at the end of the game) or replay tokens (to take a second consecutive turn), and eject opponents' pawns from the board.

On your turn
1. Place your Superstar pawn into play (mandatory)
The pawn goes to the door with the Open Door marker. The Open Door marker then moves to the next door clockwise.
2. Play an action (mandatory)
a) Play a simple move: Play a card face down and move your pawn 1 space left or right, then your pawn falls to the next platform below its feet.
b) Play a special move: Play a card face up and move your pawn according to the action indicated on the card:
- Long Jump: Move your pawn 2 spaces left or right – then your pawn falls to the next platform below its feet.
- High Jump: Move your pawn 1 space up, then 1 space left or right – then your pawn falls to the next platform below its feet.
- Drop: Your pawn slides through the platform under its feet – then falls to the next platform.
- Rotate: Pivot your pawn a quarter turn (90º), half turn (180º) or three-quarter turn (270º) – then your pawn falls to the next platform below its feet.
3. Spend a Replay token (optional)
You can use a maximum of one Replay token per turn, and play a second action using one of your remaining cards.
What you can do during a move
- Collect one or more stars.
- Collect one or more Replay tokens.
- Eject one or more opponents’ Superstar pawns.
- Force the Open Door pawn to move to the next unoccupied
- Door space clockwise.
- Leave the board and reappear on the opposite side.
Refreshing your cards
You take all your cards back into your hand if:
a) You choose the Complete Your Hand action.
b) Your Superstar pawn is ejected by an opponent.
c) You play the fifth and final card from your hand.
Game end
The game ends at the end of the round when the board has:
- 4 stars or fewer in a 2-player game.
- 8 stars or fewer in a 3- or 4-player game.
- 12 stars or fewer in a 5- or 6-player game.
Scoring
- 1 Replay token = 1 point.
- 1 star = 1 point.
- Each pair of stars of the same color = +1 bonus point
Expert variant
When a player reaches or exceeds a certain number of points, this immediately triggers the end of the game to take place at the end of the current round, such that everyone gets the same number of turns. The number of points required depends on the number of players:
- 2-player game: 18 points.
- 3-player game: 24 points.
- 4-player game: 18 points.
- 5-player game: 24 points.
- 6-player game: 18 points.
Note: The player who triggers the end of the game might still lose a point or two if someone steals a star or Replay token by ejecting their pawn. Counting points, winning the game, and tiebreakers all remain the same.
