About the game

What you do in a play session

Planet Circuit is a space race game where you command a small fleet of ships orbiting a planet. The board features a 24-space track, and your cubes and dice serve as the fuel to propel your ships. Each turn, you choose one action: move along the orbit or spend cubes to move further. Depending on where you land, you might pick up resources, get a speed boost, or even be slingshot forward. The goal? Be the first to complete a full lap and return to your space station. It's a fast-paced, strategic game perfect for fans of quick decisions and a bit of dice luck.
