Orbital Escalation

"Board & card game for 2 players. Battle between Satellites in Earth Orbit. Each figure represents a satellite, shuttle, space station or space marine squad. Victory: Destroy or capture the opposing Battle Station."

The game is played on a chessboard or any other 8x8 grid. Miniatures or counters are used to represent the satellites. Each player has sixteen units, composed of one Battle Station, two Attack Shuttles, three Hunter Killer Satellites, three Orbital Weapons Platforms, three Zero-G Space Marines, and four Orbital Mines.

A custom deck of cards is central to the play of the game. The players draw hands of cards from the shared deck. Card play determines when units may move, attack, and defend.
