About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey everyone! Ready for an intergalactic trip with Martian Coasters? This Looney Labs game is pure abstract fun, perfect for those who enjoy a quick and clever challenge. The idea here is simple: you have to guide your pieces through crazy mazes printed on drink coasters! Yes, drink coasters! Each one has a 3x3 maze, and you assemble a square board with them. The goal is to get your pieces to the center of your own coaster.
But don't be fooled, it's not just about moving pieces around. The magic (and madness!) comes from the special Treehouse die. With it, you can rotate and move the coasters, changing the entire board with each turn. It's a maze that constantly reinvents itself, forcing you to think fast and adapt.
Martian Coasters is one of those games that fits in your pocket and your schedule: quick to play (about 15-30 minutes) and with super easy-to-grasp rules. It uses the Looney Pyramids system, so if you already own other games from this line, you'll feel right at home. It can be played by 2 to 5 people, and there's even an expansion for those who want to try it with more players. It's a light, strategic game with a touch of luck that guarantees good laughs and challenges. Perfect for anyone looking for something different with a distinct "Looney" feel.
