The game....
Sternschnuppern is a charming and family-friendly discovery game by HABA that invites players to explore a magical woodland world under the gentle glow of falling stars. Simple enough for young children to enjoy, yet layered with strategic options for more experienced players, it’s a playful blend of memory, planning, and a dash of luck.
🎲 Gameplay and Mechanics
In Sternschnuppern, each player lifts moss-covered pillars (Moossäulen) to reveal hidden stars. Your goal is to collect stars in your own favorite color, placing them on your player board and eventually moving them to your background for scoring. The game shines in its adaptability: there’s an accessible introductory version designed for players as young as four, where you’ll focus on matching star colors to your tableau. Once you’ve mastered the basics, the advanced mode—“Das große Schnuppern”—adds extra layers of depth. Suddenly gray stars appear, forest animal tiles come into play, and the challenge grows more complex, testing not only your memory but also your ability to strategize and think ahead.
🎉 What Makes It Special?
- The rotating root plate and ever-shifting layout keep gameplay fresh, ensuring that no two turns feel the same.
- Discovering a star that perfectly matches your color is always a small triumph, and placing sets of three stars to your background feels like a rewarding accomplishment.
- The advanced mode’s inclusion of gray stars and forest animal tiles expands the game’s puzzle-like nature, encouraging players to adapt their tactics as the forest becomes richer and more varied.

HABA is known for creating games that children and adults can enjoy together, and Sternschnuppern is no exception.

Each session feels like a gentle adventure into the woods, searching for that perfect constellation of stars.

I love Sternschnuppern! I like lifting up the moss pieces and finding stars. Sometimes I find the right color and it makes me really happy. When I play with my family, we all take turns and I get so excited to see what’s under the moss! The little forest animals are cute, and I like when I find new stars to put on my board. Even though I’m only four, I can still play the easy version and have lots of fun. I feel like a star explorer in a magic forest!
