Board Game Geek Rating: 5.65. Board Game Geek Avg Player Rating: 6.80. This 2017 board game is for 2 to 4 players. It's the Kickstarter edition of Lazer Ryderz, including the core game, The Captain Cosmic & The Visionary promo characters from Kickstarter, and spot foil on the box and components. Note: paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included unless stated otherwise.
Lazer Ryderz is an exciting trackless racing game. It has light push - your - luck, area denial, and strategy elements. Players build their lazer paths using pre - formed punchboard pieces, placing them based on speed and direction.
In the game, you become one of four Ryderz, racing to grab all three Prisms to charge the Portal to your next destination. The Portal only lets one Ryder through before moving to a new galaxy location, so speed is key. But the faster you go, the harder it is to turn. Hit another player's lazer and you're out!
Choose your Ryder: the thrill - seeking Galactic Waveryder, the prey - hunting Lazer Shark, the law - enforcing Super Sheriff, or the mysterious Phantom Cosmonaut.

Using Lazer Ryderz is easy. First, set up the game by taking out the core game components and the promo characters. Each player picks a Ryder character - like the Galactic Waveryder, Lazer Shark, Super Sheriff, or Phantom Cosmonaut. The goal is to race and capture all three Prisms to charge the Portal to your next destination. To move, use the pre - formed punchboard pieces to construct your lazer path, deciding on speed and direction.
Remember, speed is important as the Portal only allows one Ryder through at a time. But be careful, because the faster you go, the harder it is to turn. If you run into another player's lazer, you're out of the race.
When it comes to maintenance, keep the game in a dry place to avoid damage to the punchboard pieces and the box. Also, handle the components gently to make sure they last a long time. And don't forget, paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included unless otherwise stated.
