ORBIT

Come one, come all to the Silo System, the beating heart of our galaxy, for the race of the decade! We’ve recruited the best tourists in all of the cosmos — travel-hardened explorers who will compete in the ultimate contest. These pilots must race to visit all of the planets in the Silo System ... surfing on orbital paths, teleporting between hyper jump portals, and beaming through hyperspace. Enjoy your dream vacation on one of our luxurious planets or lavish space stations as you witness the ultimate interstellar marathon. All the eyes of the galaxy will be watching this decennial event celebrating the unification of our systems under Silo Supremacy. Let the race begin!

ORBIT (Orbital Race Between Interstellar Tourists) is a 24th-century tactical space race with simple turns yet challenging possibilities. Players are competing to visit all of the planets of the system and then return to their starting planet first. On your turn, you will play a card, activate its actions in any order, and then draw back up to your hand size. Cards allow you to do a combination of things, including moving your ship, collecting energy for bonus movement, advancing planets along their orbits, and even reversing the orbital path of planets!

Planning your route to take advantage of orbital currents and bounce between planets is the key to success. Visiting certain space stations and planets will allow you to increase your hand size and energy storage capacity. And when your spaceship is docked on a planet, it will carry you along its orbital path, helping you to traverse the map faster!
But your cutthroat competition will no doubt seek to spoil your plans and sabotage your progress, even using the planet you’re docked on to move you away from other destinations. It will take a balance of clever thinking and long-term planning to find the fastest route. Only one can be the greatest tourist of the Silo System!
