Star Scrappers: Orbital by Jacob Fryxelius, the designer of Terraforming Mars, is based on his Space Station card game, which has been mechanically streamlined, updated and re-themed to fit the Star Scrappers universe - a space western setting created and developed by Hexy Studio. You start your space station (Orbital) with a basic module tile on the table, then over five years (turns) you expand it by paying for and placing new module cards. Each year you start with a hand of five cards, crew tokens and fresh money, the amount of crew and money being determined by your orbital structure. You use the money mainly to pay for new modules, and the crew gives you special effects on many of your modules.
During the year, players take turns performing actions such as building, using module actions, playing event cards, repairing or passing. When everyone passes, the year ends and victory points are awarded: there are six types (colours) of modules and for each type, the player(s) with the most modules of that type receives a victory point. At the end of the fifth year, the player with the most victory points wins.
