Description

Get ready to battle for control of the galaxy in Orbit Battle, a game of strategic space conquest for two players. Designed by Hein Espen Hattestad and released in 2018, this abstract strategy game is easy to learn but challenging to master. With a playtime of just 20 to 45 minutes, you'll be fully immersed in the action from start to finish. As a commander of a fleet of spaceships, your mission is to outmaneuver your opponent and capture two of the three remaining big planets, which have become the last hope for a new home after a meteor destroyed your own planet. The game is all about skillful maneuvering and strategic thinking, as you navigate your spaceships through the grid, trying to gain a majority influence on the planets. With the simple yet effective rules, you'll quickly grasp the basics of the game, but it's the execution that will put your skills to the test. Your opponent will be trying to do the same, so you'll need to stay one step ahead to succeed. The first player to place three spaceships on two of the big planets will claim victory, so every move counts. But be warned, once a player has captured a planet, their opponent can't enter it anymore, so the stakes are high. As you engage in this intergalactic battle, you'll experience the thrill of competition and the satisfaction of outsmarting your opponent. With its unique blend of area majority and grid movement mechanics, Orbit Battle offers a fresh and exciting gameplay experience that will keep you coming back for more. Whether you're a seasoned gamer or new to abstract strategy games, Orbit Battle is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a fun and challenging experience. So, are you ready to take on the challenge and become the ruler of the galaxy?
