Orbital: One Crew. No Mistakes.
1–4 players · 90 min · 14+
Orbital is a cooperative board game for 1-4 players set aboard a failing space station. The crew must work together to repair systems, manage crises, and keep the station operational before it's too late. What sets Orbital apart is what's hidden inside every astronaut figure — embedded electronics that communicate with the Nexus hub at the center of the board. Place your astronaut on a station tile and the hub registers it instantly. Nexus is driving events, tracking station systems, and escalating tension as the mission progresses. No scanning, no tapping, no setup. The pieces know where they stand. The AstroLink companion app responds to crew positions in real time. The physical and digital layers are inseparable — decisions made on the board affect the app, and events triggered in the app change the board state.
