You launch a piece of junk from your ship in one direction (clockwise or counter-clockwise), and your ship moves in the opposite direction by the same number of spaces. It's like a junk-powered rocket! ### What is the main objective of the game? Your goal is to collect as many victory points as possible by delivering space junk (your cargo) to the correct cities. The more junk you deliver, the richer you get! ### Is Junk Orbit a complex game for beginners? It has a light complexity (BGG weight of 1.65), which means it's easy to learn but offers strategic depth. Perfect for those just starting out or looking for a more relaxed game. ### How many players can play and how long does a game last? The game accommodates 1 to 5 players, and a game typically lasts between 30 and 40 minutes. It's quick enough for multiple plays in an evening! ### Are there any differences between player ships? Yes! Each player has a unique ship with a special power that breaks a game rule in some way. This adds a lot of variety and different strategies to each game. ### Is there much player interaction in the game? Interaction is more indirect. For example, you can launch junk that hits an opponent's ship, forcing them to discard cargo. But don't expect direct confrontations or combat. ## Price Comparison ### Best International Offers - **BoardGamePrices.com**: $ 24.66 (https://boardgameprices.com/item/go?source=A&storeitemid=1660938&utm_source=boardgamesbot.com) - **BoardGamePrices.com**: $ 25.91 (https://boardgameprices.com/item/go?source=A&storeitemid=6765960&utm_source=boardgamesbot.com) - **BoardGamePrices.com**: $ 26.99 (https://boardgameprices.com/item/go?source=A&storeitemid=4487172&utm_source=boardgamesbot.com) - **BoardGamePrices.com**: $ 27.99 (https://boardgameprices.com/item/go?source=A&storeitemid=5023317&utm_source=boardgamesbot.com) - **BoardGamePrices.com**: $ 29.59 (https://boardgameprices.com/item/go?source=A&storeitemid=6721701&utm_source=boardgamesbot.com) - **BoardGamePrices.com**: $ 33.98 (https://boardgameprices.com/item/go?source=A&storeitemid=4483017&utm_source=boardgamesbot.com) - **BoardGamePrices.com**: $ 34.04 (https://boardgameprices.com/item/go?source=A&storeitemid=4780033&utm_source=boardgamesbot.com) - **BoardGamePrices.com**: $ 44.24 (https://boardgameprices.com/item/go?source=A&storeitemid=6628687&utm_source=boardgamesbot.com) - **BoardGamePrices.com**: $ 57.57 (https://boardgameprices.com/item/go?source=A&storeitemid=4082099&utm_source=boardgamesbot.com) - See all on BoardGamePrices: https://boardgameprices.com/item/show/24169/junk-orbit?utm_source=boardgamesbot.com
