Orbita

Orbita is a tactical two-player card game of planetary influence and precise timing. Players are rival astronomers, tracking the movement of four planets whose power shifts as their positions change in orbit.

Each round, players play 13 cards of a single planet type to move its marker along the orbital track. The planet in the higher position wins the round, and the player who moved that planet claims all the cards played. Because the order of cards in your hand can never be changed, every turn demands careful hand management and precise timing.

Heres the twist: victory comes from winning by just the right margin. When one player can no longer play, the players compare their collections for each planet. For each planet, the player with fewer cards must surrender them to their rival for points. Winning by too much can backfire, so success depends on balancing short-term wins with long-term control across all planets.
