THE PLAYBOOK · SOLOHB
Play Star Battle with the rules at hand
Open Star Battle, check the instructions and begin a round. Place one star in each row, column and region, with no touching stars even diagonally. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. Look at what changes after your first action.
Solve ten 6×6 puzzles with one star in every row, column and region. These boards use the one-star rule.
Practice beyond the first move
Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Make the next step deliberately.
