you have to remember that there was precious little entertainment to be had. and also no lights after sunset.

unless there was a party or a play happening, all you could watch was the night sky. no light pollution either, so it was super visible. so probably everyone stared at the sky a lot, and knew their way around the constellations fairly well, and knew all the stories about them.

it's like looking for shapes in the clouds except the stars stay pretty much the same, so the game becomes generational
