The core of the mechanics behind Star Scrappers: Orbital lies in adding module cards to your orbital station, following the input and output diagrams shown on each card. After building a module, players will be able to move their crew accordingly. Military modules and event cards will allow you to damage other players' space stations, but combat is not always the best choice for winning. As proof of this, the game allows you to take two paths: one for peaceful players and one for competitive ones. Starting only with the basic module, a few coins and a crew, in 5 rounds (years), the players will have to expand their space stations and will have to interact with the opponents by means of modules and event cards, in continuous alternation.
