The object of the game is to build a hand of a single color and including a complete set of astronomical bodies representing a solar system. In accordance with the game rules, after an initial distribution, cards are drawn from piles on the table or another player's hand until a winning hand is developed which contains a set of Solar System cards of a single color.
The deck of astronomical cards includes four asteroid cards, four moon cards, four comet cards, four quasar cards, one black hole card, and ten groups of five cards each representing the Earth's Solar system. The cards representing the solar System include five Neptune cards, five Pluto cards, five Earth cards, five Venus cards, five Mercury cards, five Sun cards, five Uranus cards, five Saturn cards, five Jupiter cards, and five Mars cards. Each of the groups of Solar system cards includes one card from each of five colored suits. For example, the deck may include five colored suits of red, blue, green, orange, and yellow. Each suit includes one Sun card, one Mercury card, one Venus card, one Earth card, one Mars card, one Jupiter card, one Saturn card, one Uranus card, one Neptune card, and one Pluto card.
