What you do in a play session

Get ready for an intergalactic dexterity adventure with Out of Orbit, a tabletop game that promises a lot of fun for 2 to 4 players! The idea here is simple, yet addictive: you'll be flicking metal planet discs across a board that simulates a galaxy. The goal? Score points and battle for cosmic control! If you enjoy games that test your aim and precision, like a more compact, space-themed crokinole, Out of Orbit might be just what you're looking for. The proposal is to bring the excitement of a classic dexterity game into a more portable format with a visual design that evokes outer space. Imagine yourself controlling the trajectory of a planet with a simple flick of your finger, calculating the angle and force to hit your target or deflect opponents. It's the perfect combination of manual skill with a dose of light strategy to decide where and how to flick your discs. With quick matches, Out of Orbit is ideal for those seeking a relaxed and competitive pastime, perfect for taking on trips or livening up an afternoon with friends. The tension of each flick and the satisfaction of a well-executed move are at the heart of the experience. Who will be the master of the universe and manage to control the planets with the most skill?
