ORBIT

Players take on the roles of 24th-century tourists racing to visit every planet in a compact star system and return to their homeworld first. Turns are card-driven: play a card, resolve its actions in any order, then draw to refill. Cards enable ship movement, energy collection for extra movement, advancing planets along their orbital tracks, or reversing a planet’s orbital direction to alter routes. The game uses modular boards for varied starting layouts and offers variants for two-player dual-ship play, four-player partnerships, and a stationary planet scenario to change strategic dynamics.
