You collect star cards and assemble them into constellations according to specific rules. In return, you receive victory points or other bonuses from the planets. On the star cards, you must not only consider the number and position of the stars, but also other features such as comets, symmetry, flame stars, and much more. New star cards can be purchased from a display. Particularly large constellations earn you a lot of points, but it may also be advisable to quickly create many small constellations. You must also try to generate additional divine energy with certain constellations, which allows you to perform more actions per turn. If a constellation fulfils special characteristics, you can claim particularly strong bonuses on some planets with energy cubes, but the energy available to you is limited.

Reviews
Jonas reviews the game on spielpunkt.net and awards it 8.3 out of 10 points:
Ein Trip als Gottheit nach Ilumeïa bietet hochwertige Kennerspielkost. Das tolle Spielerlebnis fängt schon bei den wunderschönen und fantasievollen Illustrationen an, die auch noch das ein oder andere kleine Easter Egg verstecken. Insgesamt ist die gesamte Gestaltung des Spiels herausragend. (…) Auch die Anleitung ist vorbildlich geschrieben und sehr übersichtlich gestaltet, so dass nach einem Regelstudium keine Fragen offenbleiben. Die sehr intuitiven Icons wurden auf den Prophezeiungen noch um Text ergänzt, um hier keine Zweifel an der Bedeutung zu lassen. (…) Auch für Solospielende bietet Stars of Ilumeïa eine tolle Variante. (…) Die Züge von Obzqurion sind beeindruckend einfach zu steuern und bieten im Zusammenspiel mit den eigenen Zügen trotzdem ein sehr nah an das Mehrpersonenspiel herankommendes Spielgefühl. (…) Mit Stars of Ilumeïa bekommt man ein großartiges Gesamtpaket, das nicht nur auf spielerischer Ebene voll überzeugen kann, sondern auch darüber hinaus ganz viel Liebe zum Detail beinhaltet. (…) Eine sehr große Empfehlung aus dem Kennerspielbereich.
A journey to Ilumeïa as a deity offers top-quality gaming for advanced players. The fantastic gaming experience begins with the beautiful and imaginative illustrations, which also hide a few little Easter eggs. Overall, the game’s design is outstanding. (…) The rules are also written in an exemplary manner and laid out very clearly, so that no questions remain unanswered after reading them. The highly intuitive icons on the prophecies have been supplemented with text to leave no doubt as to their meaning. (…) Stars of Ilumeïa also offers a great variant for solo players. (…) Obzqurion’s moves are impressively easy to control and, when combined with your own moves, still provide a gaming experience that comes very close to that of a multiplayer game. (…) With Stars of Ilumeïa, you get a superb overall package that not only delivers a thoroughly satisfying gaming experience but also demonstrates a remarkable attention to detail. (…) A very strong recommendation for advanced gamers.
Olli, the Brettspiel Teddy, has reviewed the game in detail on his YouTube channel:
Stars of Ilumeïa ist ein wirklich anderes Spielkonzept. Ich habe so ein Spiel bis jetzt noch nicht auf dem Tisch gehabt. Das Puzzle-Element mit den Karten macht wirklich großen Spaß, und die Progression auf den Leisten fühlt sich extrem belohnend an. Man kann eigentlich immer etwas machen, auch wenn das Sternbild noch so klein ist. Die thematische Umsetzung ist übrigens auch super gelungen.
Stars of Ilumeïa is a truly unique game concept. I’ve never played a game like this before. The puzzle element with the cards is great fun, and making progress along the tracks feels incredibly rewarding. There’s actually always something you can do, even if the constellation is very small. The thematic implementation is also brilliantly done, by the way.
Nicole and Kai from MeepleCards give a detailed review of Stars of Ilumeïa, highlighting its strengths and weaknesses, and awarding it 9 and 10 out of 10 points, respectively:

André and Dominik from Brettspielgalaxie share their impressions of the game:
[Es] entsteht spätestens ab dem 2. Zeitalter ein regelrechtes Rennen um die besten Boni der 11 Planeten und ein Taktieren wie weit man sein Sternenbild noch verlängern kann, um mehrere Boni gleichzeitig abzugreifen. Umso emotionaler wird es dann natürlich, wenn einem genau diese Boni vor der Nase weggeschnappt werden.
Gerade dieses Taktieren, der Wettkampf um die Boni und das hierdurch entstehende Punkterennen haben mir [...] richtig gut gefallen.
Gerade dieses Taktieren, der Wettkampf um die Boni und das hierdurch entstehende Punkterennen haben mir [...] richtig gut gefallen.
[It] turns into a real race for the best bonuses from the 11 planets by the second era at the latest, with players strategising on how far they can extend their constellation to claim several bonuses at once. Naturally, it gets all the more emotional when those very bonuses are snatched from under your nose.
It was precisely this tactical manoeuvring, the competition for the bonuses and the resulting race for points that I [...] really enjoyed.

Was mir besonders gefällt: (...) Jedes Sternbild kann neben der Größe und Anzahl der Sterne ganz unterschiedliche Vorgaben erfüllen – mal geht es um die Symmetrie, mal um die Anzahl der Kometen oder Flammensterne und und und...
Auf das Timing kommt es an: Du kannst Dir neue Energie für Aktionen freischalten. Aber um die mächtigen Boni einiger Zivilisationen freizuschalten, musst Du auch Energie einsetzen, was dich wiederum einschränken kann. Und Energie ist eine begrenzte Ressource.
(...) Das Kartendesign ist extrem clever gelöst – man kann die Sternbilder sogar richtig gut direkt auf der Hand "zusammentüfteln".
Mein Fazit (...): Es ist verdammt befriedigend, wenn der Plan aufgeht! Wer auf taktische Kartenspiele mit Tiefgang steht, sollte den Release definitiv im Auge behalten.

What I really like: (...) In addition to the size and number of stars, each constellation can fulfil very different requirements – sometimes it's about symmetry, sometimes it's about the number of comets or flame stars, and so on...
Timing is everything: you can unlock new energy for actions. But to activate the powerful bonuses of some civilisations, you also have to use energy, which can limit you. And energy is a rare resource.
(...) The card design is extremely clever – you can even combine the constellations really well right in your hand.
My summary (...): It is incredibly satisfying when the plan is successful! Those who enjoy tactical card games with depth should definitely keep an eye out for the release.
