How to play

  1. The grid has as many coloured regions as it has rows. Place one star in every row, column and region.
  2. No two stars may touch each other, including diagonally.
  3. Tap a cell to place a star and tap again to take it away. Rule breakers turn red.
  4. Place all the stars with no conflicts to win. Undo and Restart are always available.

Controls: mouse or touch. Made by CalcoTools.

Tips and strategy

  • Small regions give the strongest clues. A region with only two cells has only two choices.
  • A star removes all eight cells around it, so cross them off in your head.
  • If a region lies inside two rows, no other region can use a star in those rows.
  • Work out where each row and column can still take a star.
