THE PLAYBOOK · ZEIZEIWAI
Making your first moves in Star Battle
Start Star Battle by looking at the playing area and its controls. Place one star in each row, column and region, with no touching stars even diagonally. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Solve ten 6×6 puzzles with one star in every row, column and region. These boards use the one-star rule.
One thing to notice as you play
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Notice the feedback after each input.
The purpose of your moves
Place one star in each row, column and region, with no touching stars even diagonally. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Start with a deliberate move.
Making your moves
- Tap to place a star, mark a cell or clear it.
- Respect fixed starter stars.
- Check rows, columns and coloured regions.
- Check puzzle verifies the final arrangement.
Using the playing area
Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
A useful example
A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Verify the rule before continuing.
A mistake to avoid
Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
