Come one, come all to the Silo System, the beating heart of our galaxy, for the race of the decade! We've recruited the best tourists in all the cosmos: travel-hardened explorers who will compete in the ultimate contest. These pilots must race to visit all the planets in the Silo System, surfing upon orbital paths, teleporting between hyper jump portals, and beaming through hyperspace. Enjoy your dream vacation on one of our luxurious planets or lavish space stations as you witness the ultimate interstellar marathon. All the eyes of the galaxy will be watching this decennial event celebrating the unification of our systems under Silo Supremacy. 

ORBIT (Orbital Race Between Interstellar Tourists) is a 24th century tactical space race with simple turns, yet challenging possibilities. Players compete to visit all planets of the system, then return to their starting planet first.
On your turn, you play a card, activate its actions in any order, then draw back up to your hand size. Cards allow you to do a combination of things: move your ship, collect energy for bonus movement, advance planets along their orbit, or even reverse the orbital direction of a planet. 

  • Race to visit all the planets in the Silo System before your rivals.
  • Play cards to navigate your ship and move planets along their orbits. Planets can carry your ship long distances!
  • Upgrade your ship along the way at space stations and planets.
  • Explore two unique game maps and two extra modes — partnership and dual ship modes.

Victoria ★★★★★

Didn't expect the tourist racers to have this much personality, but drafting explorers with different travel backgrounds makes every run feel different. The Silo System track layout keeps the whole table leaning in, and setup was quicker than I figured for a game with this many pieces.

John Q. ★★★★★

The whole Silo System setup pulled my group in faster than anything else on the shelf, and the tourist lineup kept every round feeling different. We ended up playing three races back to back, which never happens.

Eli Y. ★★★★★

Got this for game night with friends who usually groan at anything with a rulebook, and they were actually arguing over turns by round two. The tourist characters each play differently enough that it doesn't get stale after a few plays.
