Junk Orbit Board Game

About this product

Turn yesterday’s space junk into tomorrow’s treasure as you race between planets, moons and distant cities.

Family Strategy Board Game. Designed by Daniel Solis and published by Renegade Game Studios.

Launch cargo, navigate connected planetary orbits and deliver valuable space junk in this family strategy game for 1–5 players.

Product Description

Space is the final junkyard, and one planet’s rubbish could be another planet’s treasure.

In Junk Orbit, you captain a scavenger ship collecting unwanted cargo and delivering it to cities across Earth, the Moon, Mars and nearby moons. Every piece of junk has a value that determines both how far it travels and how far your ship moves in the opposite direction.

Launch cargo from your airlock to make a remote delivery, then use the same momentum to propel your ship around the orbit. Land at the right city to make direct deliveries, collect more junk and prepare your next journey.

Transfer points allow ships and cargo to move between connected location boards, creating clever route-planning decisions as you work out where to launch, where to land and which deliveries will score the most points.

This updated edition keeps the familiar Junk Orbit gameplay while adding a new presentation, solo play and two mini expansions. Mission Control introduces additional ship cards and player powers, while the Tours Mini-Expansion adds Tourist cards and new scoring opportunities.

When a city can no longer be refilled, the final turns begin. Add up the value of your completed deliveries, and the player with the highest score wins.
