PLAYER AREA
When a player chooses a Sign to play, they play with a Master Sign card and a Master Board where their Master Sign Card is placed. The Master Board also contains bonuses that are unique the Sign they choose.
It is here where your Master Sign collects the other 11 Signs via House Cards. And any House Card that another player needs that you acquire is placed below your Master Board face down. These are called Desired Objects.
HOUSE CARDS
House Cards are the main driver of the game. Each House Card represents a Zodiac Sign that is under the mastery of another Sign. The symbols on the top of the card represent the Master Sign and the character in the middle with their accompanying symbols on the bottom represent the Sign that is under the House of the Master Sign.
House Cards that are of no value to any player during a game are used as Challenge Cards to win Desired Objects from other players.
CONSTELLATIONS
Orbit Master contains a deck of Constellation Cards. Within the deck is one constellation per Sign in the game. At the start of each round, a Constellation Card is flipped face up and stays face up for that round. If your Sign matches the Constellations Sign or Element Color, then you get an added bonus for that round.
OPHIUCHUS
Ophiuchus (pronounced oh-few-chis) is not in the mood to have the Celestial Orbit restored. The corrupt power of the 13th Sign pays a visit to the restoration in the form of a single card. When a player acquires this card, they lose their bonus abilities and gained House Cards go black by being flipped face down.
If all House Cards are flipped face down, that Master Sign enters a Black Hole and the player is now playing with Ophiuchus. Any House Card that is needed to fulfill the 11 Signs of that Master Sign gets sucked into the Black Hole of this player whenever those cards are face up.
