Description
Two countries are coming together to place satellites in orbit. Each rocket has satellites from all countries but only one satellite can be placed into one orbit. Now, each country is trying to place their satellite into the orbit.
This is a 2 or 4 player game.
This is simple space themed family game with a focus on numerical strategy and probabilities. The game is hyper-tactical and lighter on long term strategy. It uses a new game mechanism called "CCPP" (Common Cost, private profit) in "game theory" terms. Most seasoned game testers have found the new mechanism to be "intriguing", although it is not for everyone.
