Orbit

Overview

Join the Race of the Decade in the Silo System! The galaxy’s eyes are on the Silo System as elite tourists—veteran explorers from across the cosmos—compete in ORBIT (Orbital Race Between Interstellar Tourists), the ultimate 24th-century space race. Contestants must visit every planet in the Silo System and return to their starting point, riding orbital currents, teleporting through hyper portals, and beaming through hyperspace. Spectators can experience the thrill from luxurious planets and space stations, celebrating this spectacular decennial event. In ORBIT, players compete by playing cards to move, collect energy for bonus actions, and alter planetary orbits. Moving planets can carry docked ships, speeding up players’ progress, but careful planning and quick adaptation are crucial, as rivals may sabotage your strategy. Players can upgrade their ships at space stations, boosting hand size and energy capacity for strategic advantages. With randomized setups on two boards and variants like solo play, team mode, and a stationary planet, ORBIT offers fresh experiences every game. As the climactic installment in Reiner Knizia’s Cosmic Silos Trilogy, the game can also be expanded with the Nebular Expansion, adding modules like navigation tokens, hyper accelerators, and artificial nebulas.
