About this board game

Lazer Ryderz is a trackless racing game for 2–4 players, with an estimated play time of 60 minutes. Each player guides one of four distinctive Ryderz through a race to capture the three Prisms needed to charge the Portal to the next destination.

Players construct their own lazer paths using pre-formed punchboard pieces. Every piece is placed according to the Ryder’s speed and desired direction, creating a racecourse that develops directly on the playing area rather than following a fixed track.

Speed is essential because the Portal allows only one Ryder to pass through before it moves to a new location in the galaxy. However, pushing ahead comes with a risk: the faster a Ryder travels, the harder it becomes to turn. If a Ryder runs into another player’s lazer, that Ryder is eliminated from the race.

  • Trackless racing: Build paths as you move using pre-formed pieces.
  • Push-your-luck play: Balance the need for speed against the danger of losing control.
  • Area denial: Use lazer paths to restrict rivals and make their routes more dangerous.
  • Strategic movement: Choose your speed and direction while racing for three Prisms.

Choose from four Ryderz, each with a distinctive identity: the thrill-seeking Galactic Waveryder, the hunting Lazer Shark, the justice-driven Super Sheriff, or the mysterious Phantom Cosmonaut. Their quests range from chasing radical solar waves to seeking the Blood Nebula, bringing a colorful science-fiction setting to every race.

In Lazer Ryderz, careful planning and daring movement must work together. Race quickly, claim the Prisms, avoid rival lazers, and be the one Ryder who reaches the Portal before it moves on.
