If you love board games that are quick to learn but still make you think, you’ve got to check out GPS. It’s one of those games that looks simple on the surface, but every turn keeps you on your toes.
You start with a spinning rocket in the middle of the board, and on your turn, you spin it to find out where you’re allowed to place your next satellite. If the spot’s taken, you move to the next empty space – but here’s where the real game begins. You’re not just placing satellites randomly; you’re trying to get them all lined up in perfect clockwise order, starting from the launch point.
After 12 spins, things shift. You stop placing new satellites and start moving the ones you’ve already put down. That’s when the strategy really kicks in. You’ve got to outthink your opponents, shift things around without messing up your own plan, and maybe even block someone else’s perfect setup (cheeky but fun!).
What I love most about GPS is how it mixes luck with smart choices. It’s quick to play, doesn’t drag on, and there’s always a bit of chaos thanks to that spinning rocket. Whether you’re playing with kids, friends, or someone who usually hates board games – this one has something for everyone.
GPS (2020) is a quick-thinking, space-themed strategy game where players race to place and align satellites in orbit. Easy to learn, excitin
