Star Battle (2 Stars): how to play, rules & tips
Play two-star Star Battle free online on full 10x10 boards. Place two stars in every row, column and outlined region, with no two stars touching.
How to play Star Battle (2 Stars)
Every board is a 10x10 grid split into 10 outlined regions. Each row, each column and each region must hold exactly two stars, so a finished board has 20 stars.
No two stars may touch, not even corner to corner. Tap a square to place a star, tap again for a dot to mark a square you have ruled out, and tap once more to clear it.
When every row, column and region has two stars and none touch, the board is solved.
What makes the 2-star version different
This is the full-size version. With two stars per line, placing one star does not close a row, so you need counting logic across several rows and regions at once. That makes it a step up from the one-star version.
There are 10 hand-made boards: four easy, three medium and three hard. Each was checked by a solver to have exactly one solution. The Free hint button is always correct, and Clear wipes the board.
Star Battle (2 Stars) tips
- Any 2x2 block holds at most one star. Two neighboring rows can be split into five 2x2 blocks that must hold four stars, so at most one block is empty.
- In a row, the two stars need at least one empty square between them.
- If a region fits inside two rows, it uses up stars from those rows. Count what is left for the other regions.
- If three regions fit entirely inside three columns, those columns' six stars all belong to them. Dot every other square in those columns.
- A region shaped like a straight line of three can only place its two stars on the two ends.
