About the game

What is Periorbis

A fresh take on worker placement featuring a unique orbital mechanic; Periorbis is a game of skill and strategy set in deep space.

In Periorbis you represent a newly formed interstellar asteroid mining company and your aim is to mine, transport and sell more precious ore than your competitors.

Over the course of the game, you will build up your mining operations by allocating your employees to one of 5 specialist professions; engineer, agent, miner, captain, and scientist.

Nine asteroids move into and out of the range of your freighter fleet as they orbit the planet, making it important to plan ahead. Set up mining bases on the asteroids that you want before your competition gets there first, and research better technology in time to reach asteroids that are further away.
