Components

• 9 Planet pieces + 1 Center piece (spinner base)
• 2 Rocket pieces (spinner arrow)
• 2 Plastic Center pieces (spinner core)
• 60 Satellites: 12 for each player

Setup

1. Construct the planet spinner.
2. Each player shuffles their 12 satellites face down, then flips 3 satellites face up.

Each Turn

1. Someone spins the spinner.
2. All players place 1 of their 3 face up satellites in the pointed space.
3. If the spinner stops on a space where a player already has a satellite, that player chooses one of the next empty spaces, either to the left or the right, to place their new satellite.
4. Each player turns one of their face down satellites face up.
5. Continue taking turns following steps 1-4.

After 12 Spins

After 12 spins, players will have all their satellites, face up, around the planet. Instead of placing new satellites, players will now move one of their already placed satellites to the space the arrow points to.

As before, if a player already has a satellite in the space the rocket points to, they move a satellite (which may be the satellite from the pointed space) to the nearest space in either direction that doesn't already have one of their satellites.

Players continue spinning the spinner and moving satellites, trying to gradually arrange all their satellites in a clockwise ascending order starting at the start line.

Example: all satellites are already around the planet. Once the spinner stops, the Red, Green, Blue and White players must move any 1 of their already placed satellites to the space indicated by the spinner (1). Yellow already has a satellite placed in that pointed space, so Yellow can move a satellite (including satellites 7 or 8) to the nearest space in either direction without a Yellow satellite (2).

Game End

At the end of a turn, if any player has all their satellites in a clockwise ascending order starting at the start line, then they win. Tied players share the victory.

For a longer game, play multiple games until someone wins twice.
