My Corner of the Sky 2022

After years of diligent research and learning, you've finally been granted what every young astronomer dreams of: dedicated time on your local planetarium's telescope. Determined to make the most of the five weeks you've been granted, you've pledged to spend the time mapping Mihi Anguli, an obscure and uncharted patch of the night sky. But beware! Your colleague and nemesis Dr. Rivalis is eager to piggyback off of your success. For you to prevail, you must learn new abilities, gain supporters, and publish your findings. Only then will the world see you as the superior astronomer. Now go forth, and carpe noctem!

My Corner of the Sky is a roll & write game, released in Spring 2022 by Dave Mansell as a free print & play. It features an innovative dice mechanic wherein the pip layout of your dice matters as much as the value shown. It has two pages of rules and one game sheet. The only other needed components are a pencil (or pen) and 4 standard 6-sided dice (with pips).

This is a solo game but can also be played as multiplayer, with all players using the same rolled dice values.
