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? ## FAQ ### What's the ideal player count? Works best with 4-6 players, but scales from 2-8 — the more people, the more chaotic and fun! ### Is it hard to learn? Not at all! Rules are simple and a match lasts about 15-30 minutes, perfect for casual play with friends. ### Is there much luck involved? Some randomness in movement, but strategy matters a lot — knowing when to risk or block opponents is key. ### Can kids play? Yes! From age 10 they can enjoy it, and the space theme is a great draw for little astronauts. ### Does it need much table space? The board grows as the game progresses, so reserve a decent area — at least 24x24 inches minimum.
