Orbiter is a tabletop ring toss game, similar in purpose to the executive gift Newton's Cradle. They are both pendulum devices, used to demonstrate the laws of motion, to entertain, and to serve a decorative function for the home and office. The object is to set the ring in motion, from one taller uniquely angled post in order to ring the second shorter conversely angled post. Players are challenged to learn six orbiter swings, each one different with increasingly difficult swing paths, and then to see which player will make the most ringers using those swings in order to win the match. In order to score the Orbiter Grand Slam you must make six ringers in a row using all six swing types. For the last and most difficult of the grand slam swings you must make the ring fly around the taller post 2.5 times before landing on the shorter post. The swing concepts can be understood in minutes but they may take a lifetime to perfect.
