About the game

What is Orbital

In Orbital, you design and build your own orbital station and make it as self-sustaining as possible. Your population will need houses, which will in turn need energy. Farms, gardens, facilities — there's a lot of elements to take into account. Get the buildings you need, and design the best station to be the winner!

The game tiles are composed by 1 to 5 buildings in the shape of triangles. Players should try to buy the pieces that fit best from the ones available on the central board and try to arrange them on their station in the most profitable way possible. Depending on their size and the position on the board, pieces are more or less expensive to acquire. Also, players pay by leaving their money on the pieces they reject to try to get to the one they want. Take a piece everyone rejected, and you will get a lot of useful money!

David_Trovador7.2/10

Juego tirando a abstracto, de buscar un equilibrio entre posición y número de losetas a construir en tu ciudad espacia. Bastante más sesudo de lo que aparenta, y sencillo de reglas. Me ha sorprendido para bien. Ideal a 2 o 3 jugadores

Juego de polinomios con formas triangulares. Entretenido y con muchas formas de puntuar diferente. El sistema de gestión de losetas es curioso, a más jugadores más se mueve el mercado y también las fichas que recolectas para gastar. Como puntos negativos resaltaría que visualmente no es tan atractivo como pueden ser otros juegos de polinomios y el material usado para las monedas es muy de los 90, hace que no luzca del todo.
