About the game
What you do in a play session
The game utilizes the Looney Pyramids system and IceDice dice on a 3x3 board. Each round, the dice determine which rocket piece appears in the center of the board and how many actions you have to maneuver them. Your goal is to grab the pieces you need for your rocket while simultaneously getting rid of those that don't serve you – or, perhaps, giving an unwanted piece a nudge towards an opponent's launchpad.
It's a fast-paced game, with matches lasting around 15 minutes, perfect for those who enjoy a dose of luck with a tactical twist. Ideal for filling short gaps or for anyone seeking light and fun entertainment. If you like dice games and the thrill of collecting the right components, Launchpad 23 might be your next space stop. It's also part of the larger package called Pyramid Arcade, so if you already own that, you might have Launchpad 23 hidden within!
With simple rules and quick games, it's a great choice to introduce new players to the world of board games or for those looking for carefree fun. Interaction is subtle yet constant as you try to optimize your own pad and disrupt others' plans. A light and engaging experience that challenges you to think fast and adapt to the twists and turns of the space factory production line.
