The race is on! Each year the racers from both sides of the galaxy get together to set the record straight as to who is the best in the galaxy. Split into two teams of four, racers will go across the galaxy, orbiting planets to collect objectives and get to the finish line as fast as they can. This can be a little tricky because of the orbits can change. Whoever collects all eight objectives and moves all of their racers to the other side of the galaxy wins!

Orbits is a two player race game where players will move their four racers across a grid to other side while collecting eight objectives. Each game is different due to randomness of the planet tiles. Players will move their spaceships across the galaxy using the orbits of each planet. Some planet tiles allow you to do special maneuvers to speed up your movement.

Whoever gets all of their objectives and moves all four of their spaceships to the other side of the grid, wins the game.
