Welcome to Star Battles!

Welcome to Puzzle Baron's Star Battles! We've got more than 50,000 unique puzzles here for you to solve. You can play for fun, or register a free account and compete against other players for the Star Battles Hall of Fame!

How to Play

Each Star Battle board has a specific number of stars indicated at the top-right corner of every board (i.e. 1 star, 2 stars or 3 stars). Your task is to complete the puzzle board in such a way so that the correct number of stars appears in every row, column and outlined shape, without any two stars touching each other, even diagonally. Every puzzle has one, and only one, unique answer that will satisfy these requirements, and each solution can be reached using pure logic (trial and error is never required).

Rules of Play

• Every puzzle will have a defined star requirement (1, 2 or 3 stars).
• That exact number of stars must be placed in every row, column and outlined shape.
• No two stars can touch each other, even diagonally.
