What Laura experiences when she visits her aunt has been experienced by almost every child - waking up in the middle of the night in a strange room. Nothing looks right in the dark - you try to figure out what the furniture is in vain... It's a good thing to have a star nearby - Lauras star, for example, which has helped many children with the books & films of the same name. The star helps Laura overcome her fear of the darkness. In the game, the children use a shining staff under a dark foil "tent" to find different items - and all they can see are the outlines. Additionally, they move Laura carefully from space to space. This is an innovative game idea in which the children need a good eye and a calm hand. -- paraphrased from a Babel-lation of the description at the Spiel des Jahres website http://spieldesjahres.kiratec.eu/cms/front_content.php?idcatart=617&id=520
