Learn how to play Light Speed: Arena!
This is a quick and comprehensive overview of the rules. I try to cover all the rules, including the latest errata at the time of recording and BGG FAQs, in as short an amount of time as possible. Of course, while still trying to remain clear.
These videos are not rulebook replacements. They have 3 goals:
1 – As a refresher, if you haven’t played the game for a while and need a reminder of the rules
2 – For a brief overview of the game, if you’re going to play it for the first time
3 – As an alternative to a review-style video, to see if the game is for you
Of course, before you leave, remember to like, share and subscribe. Also, comment if the video was helpful (or if you have constructive feedback)

About Light Speed: Arena, from BoardGameGeek:
A real-time tabletop shooter in which you aim with your tiles and take a smartphone picture to let the app unfold the battle for you. As the roar of the crowd resonates, the arena is lit with the brilliant glow of sponsor ads: Pick your faction and step into battle. Tactically place and orient your spaceships to score the most points by taking down enemy vehicles, collecting mineral units from asteroids, and impressing the game sponsors.
This is a real-time, tile laying game. The game begins with two tiles in the center and starting the timer.
Every round, each player places one spaceship anywhere on the battlefield while everybody else is doing the same! Aim at enemies and asteroids, while appealing to the sponsors and avoiding friendly fire. After 8 rounds, players stop and take a photo with the companion app.
The companion app will play the battle for you and calculate the scores.
Scores can also be calculated manually with the Downgrade Pack.
