Orbital Velocity is a space-themed numerical strategy board game. Players are rocket scientists that collectively pilot rockets. The educational part of the game focuses on math, physics, and AI. In this game, the fun is mixed with science learning as kids are introduced to orbits, the concept of decreasing orbital velocity (explained in the rulebook), matching the exact orbital velocity, gross vs fine acceleration and AI to play the game.
Evaluation comments:
“We love anything Space related so this looks cool!!”
“The game comes with a game board, rockets, satellite holders and satellites and a deck of cards.”
“My kids loved the excitement in making risks when making moves in the game. I liked the fact that it got the girls talking but orbits and difference scientific concepts (it was inevitable while playing).”
“It would make a great Christmas gift. Especially now because I feel like kids are missing a lot of the science and fun stuff that comes with being in school. Distance learning doesn’t always provide that.”
