Orbit (board Game) Fun Facts
A fun, obscure fact: several unrelated board games have been published under the title “Orbit,” so collectors and online databases sometimes mix up components, designers, and release years — tell me which edition or designer you mean and I’ll give a more specific obscure fact.
Obscurity Level: Obscure
A surprisingly common use for Orbit is in classrooms and outreach: teachers and amateur astronomy clubs have repurposed the game’s pieces and rule themes to demonstrate basic orbital concepts (like transfer maneuvers, relative speeds, and the vocabulary apoapsis/periapsis), turning a hobby game into a hands‑on teaching aid.

What's your go-to opening move in Orbit (the board game)?
I know this game is divisive, but I LOVE IT SO MUCH. Part of me thinks the divisiveness comes from whether you're up for punishing games. Right now, I don't want a game to kick my butt after a long slog of a day. I just want to have fun and explore. This is it. Vantage has plenty of medium-level challenge and decision space. But you fail forward and get to have an incredible experience.
Too many open world, exploration games punish you for exploring. Vantage is refreshing and absolutely awesome.
