About the game
What you do in a play session
In C.O.L.A., you take control of an orbiting satellite, trying to survive while everyone else falls into oblivion. The game takes place on a dynamic board formed by the players' own movements — each maneuver disc placed creates routes and blockades. Your goal? Be the last satellite in orbit, avoiding collisions, falling to Earth, or being flung into deep space. With simple but strategic mechanics, the game scales well from 2 to 8 players, perfect for groups who enjoy some fun space chaos. The tension rises as the board gets more crowded and maneuvers become increasingly risky. Who said orbital physics couldn't be a party game?

Can kids play?
