Printable Star Battle

Star Battle — some know it as “two not touch” — is a grid cut into regions. Place stars so that every row, every column and every region holds the same number of them, one or two depending on the board, and no two stars touch, not even at a corner. Nothing is given: the board starts empty and every star is yours to find.

Every day there is a new board in each of three sizes, dealt to everybody alike and solvable without a single guess. Pick a size, print the sheet, and take it wherever a screen would not go — it is solved with a pen and a few crosses.

How to play

Place stars so that every row, every column and every outlined region holds exactly the number the board asks for — one on the small board, two on the others.

No two stars may touch, not even at a corner.

Crosses are your own notes of where a star cannot go; only the stars are the answer.

Tap a cell to cross it out, tap again for a star, once more to clear it. Drag across cells to cross out several at once.

Solved: one star in each row, each column and each region, and no two of them touching.
