About the game
Hey everyone! Looking to spice up your Decrypto game with an extra kick of challenge and fun? The Laserdrive expansion is here for just that! With it, each round introduces a new category card – it could be movie titles, tourist attractions, words starting with 'F', the sky's the limit! The catch is that at least one of your clues for your teammates must match this category. If you nail it and all three clues fit, congratulations: you earn a red laser token. And what's this little gem for? Collect two of these lasers, and you can attempt to guess one of the opposing team's secret words. If you guess correctly, you get a white 'interception' token – and collecting two of those seals your victory! It's a new and exciting way to turn the tables and secure the win. This expansion is perfect for those who already love Decrypto and want more creative ways to confuse their friends (or be confused!). It's easy to integrate, doesn't complicate the rules, and maintains that brilliant deduction vibe we all adore. Ready for another layer of fun?
