About Pirates and Lasers
Pirates & Lasers is a strategic struggle between ghost pirates and incompetent laser-wielding tourists. Keep the ship sailing as long as you can while lasers tear your ship asunder, managing resources and preventing damage to critical areas.
It was built for Blinks, the world’s first smart tabletop game system. The Blinks Game System brings the responsiveness of video games to tabletop gaming.
