Laser

Laser is a kitten who loves moving spots of light. To make things more exciting, you show her how to mix colours. With prisms you bring two colours together and turn them into a new one. Whoever mixes best, wins. It sounds simple, but around the table there is plenty of thinking and cheering along. You lay twelve tiles in a circle on the table and put Laser and the prisms in their places. Each round you draw two cards that tell you which colour you have to make. You only have thirty seconds to work out how to slide the prisms across the tiles. Then everyone reveals at the same time in how many moves they think they can complete the task. The player who comes closest gets to solve the puzzle together with the others, without talking it over. Does it work out? Then the points are yours. There are two ways to play. In the cooperative version you work together towards the solution. If you want more competition, you flip the tiles over and play the competitive version, where you try to outbid each other with ever lower bids. Suitable for two to ten players aged eight and up, and good for many a fun evening.
