Is Star Battle the same as Queens?
Yes, in the one-star version we use. Queens asks for one queen in every row, column and colored region, with no two touching, and Star Battle asks the same with stars. LinkedIn’s Queens uses these rules too.
Can I play Queens online for free?
Yes. Star Battle is free and plays in your browser on a phone or computer, with no app to install and no account needed. A free account saves your stats and puts you on the leaderboards.
