Description

Pirates & Lasers is a fast-paced and action-packed game where you'll navigate the high seas as ghost pirates, trying to outsmart incompetent laser-wielding tourists. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, you'll be diving into the game in no time, whether you're playing solo or with up to three friends. The goal is to keep your ship sailing for as long as possible, managing resources and preventing damage to critical areas as lasers tear your vessel apart. In this turn-based strategy game, you'll need to think strategically to survive the laser attacks and repair your boat hull each turn to prevent sinking. The game is divided into three stages - Rearrange, Repair, and Lasers - where you'll move Ship and Hazard Blinks to prevent damage, transfer resources to repair your ship, and face the onslaught of laser fire. With its abstract strategy mechanics and critical hits and failures, Pirates & Lasers offers a thrilling experience that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Designed by Michael Cooper, Ian Cummins, and Theo Johnson, and published in 2020, this game is perfect for those looking for a quick and exciting challenge that can be played in just 15 to 30 minutes.
