C.O.L.A.: The Game of Satellite Survival 2026

You are a satellite operator! Orbiting the Earth at speeds exceeding 17,000mph, satellites must make critical maneuvers to avoid catastrophic collisions! Take command of your satellite to maintain orbit, avoid collisions and outlast all your opponents! Starting in Low Earth Orbit, players place maneuver discs to move their satellite across the board avoiding de-orbit, collision, or leaving orbit. Be the last satellite still in orbit to claim victory!

—description from the back of the box

Starting on entry points into the first of 4 concentric rings surrounding Earth (Low Earth Orbit, Mid-Earth Orbit, Geo-Stationary Orbit, and High Earth Orbit), players place maneuver discs (path tokens) to move their satellite across the board avoiding elimination by de-orbit (board center), collision, or leaving orbit (board edge). As the board fills with discs paths connect and satellites can travel in lengthy paths. Players can control multiple satellites, collide with opponents and interrupt play once per game (per optional rules.) Be the last satellite still in orbit to claim victory!
