Game Rules

🎯 Objective

Capture as many star nodes as possible on the knowledge graph. The player with the most nodes wins!

🗺️ The Knowledge Graph

The game map is a graph of interconnected scientific topics (stars). Each star represents a subject area like physics, chemistry, or biology. Stars are grouped into constellations by discipline.

⚔️ Capturing Stars

• • To capture an unclaimed star, click on it and pass the quiz (answer at least 7 out of 10 questions correctly).
• • You can only attack stars that are adjacent to your existing territory. Your first star can be any unclaimed node.
• • To steal a star from another player, you must score higher than their best attempt on that node.

🪐 Planets

• • Each star has orbiting planets representing subtopics. You can conquer planets of stars you already own.
• • Conquered planets provide defense: each planet reduces the quiz time for anyone attacking that star by 30 seconds.
• • Planet quizzes have 10 questions focused on the specific subtopic. You must answer all 10 correctly to conquer the planet.

📖 Theory

Each star has study material you can review before attempting a quiz. Use the "Study Theory" button on any node to prepare.

📊 Scoring

• • Your score depends on accuracy (correct answers) and speed (time remaining).
• • Base quiz time is 120 seconds, minus 30 seconds for each planet the defender has conquered on that star.

🎒 Items

You can earn special items by performing well on quizzes:

• 🛰️ Space Probe — earned by scoring 9/10 or higher. Use it during a quiz to eliminate 2 wrong answers, leaving you with a 50/50 chance.
• ⏱️ Clock — earned by scoring 7/10 or higher. Use it during a quiz to add 10 extra seconds to your timer.

💡 Tips

• ★ Study the theory before attempting quizzes.
• ★ Conquer planets to defend your stars.
• ★ Expand strategically — attack adjacent nodes to build connected territory.
• ★ Check the leaderboard to track your progress.
