Light Speed: Arena

Light Speed: Arena is a revolutionary real-time tabletop shooter that seamlessly blends physical tile placement with digital precision to create an exhilarating combat experience. As the roar of the crowd resonates through the lit arena, you must pick your faction and step into a high-stakes battle where every millimetre counts. Players tactically place and orient their various spaceships across the table in real time, aiming their vessels to take down enemy vehicles and collect valuable mineral units from scattered asteroids. Once the ships are set, the battle unfolds by taking a simple smartphone picture, allowing the dedicated app to instantly calculate line-of-sight lasers, impact zones, and scoring. To claim victory, you must not only destroy your rivals but also manage your positioning to impress game sponsors and secure the most points in the heat of the fray. This innovative system removes the need for complex manual measuring, allowing you to focus entirely on the speed and strategy of the engagement as the brilliant glow of the arena ads signals the start of the next frantic round.
