A pure strategy game of light and geometry.

No randomness.No hidden information.

Just you — and the ray.

RAYLINE is a laser-routing strategy game on a 9×9 grid. Place reflectors to bend light. Deploy boosters to extend its reach. Chain them together — and when the path clicks into place, your opponent's position collapses in an instant.

Each player has a laser emitter at their corner. 

On your turn: place a piece, move one, transform it into a different type, or rotate your emitter. Then the laser fires.

The laser travels up to 3 squares per segment. Hit a reflector — it bends 90° and gets another 3. Miss everything — it dies in empty air. If the beam reaches your opponent's home zone, they're done.

Sounds simple. But every piece on the board — yours and theirs — serves both sides of the line.

This is a game about reading two moves ahead — and the terror of being one move behind.

Your brilliant attack becomes your opponent's shortcut. 

A defensive reflector you placed three turns ago suddenly completes their path.

Pieces

REFLECTOR (vertical  & horizontal)— Bend the laser 90°. One reflector can turn your defense into their death sentence. 

BOOSTER — Extend range without changing direction.
