Orbito

About this board game

Orbito is a two-player game that plays in around 10 minutes, challenging opponents to create a row of four marbles on a shifting game board. Released in 2022, it combines a clear objective with a board that changes after every turn.

To win, try to arrange four marbles of your colour in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal row. Your plans must account for more than the current position of the marbles, because the board’s movement can transform the layout from one turn to the next.

At the end of your turn, you must press the Orbito button. This activates the game’s patented shifting board and makes all marbles move one position along their orbit. Every move therefore has consequences, creating an ever-changing puzzle for both players.

• Two-player gameplay with an approximately 10-minute play time
• Four-in-a-row goal across horizontal, vertical, or diagonal lines
• A patented board that shifts all marbles after each turn
• The option to move one of your opponent’s marbles on your turn

Orbito also gives you a way to disrupt your opponent’s strategy: on your turn, you can move one of their marbles. This distinctive ability can interfere with a developing row, but it can also be used against you, so every decision carries a potential risk.

Stay focused as positions change and watch for opportunities before pressing the button. With its combination of direct interaction, shifting marbles, and a simple four-in-a-row objective, Orbito offers a compact contest where both players must continually rethink their plans.
