Renga is a "theatrical co-op" game. It is designed to be played in a movie theater with up to one hundred players, with each player holding a laser pointer.[1] Players must pilot a space ship by hitting one of four arrows, which causes the ship to move. At the same time, players must also defend the ship from objects such as pentagons and hexagons. Defeating a pentagon, for example, requires five players to hit the five points of the shape simultaneously in order to destroy it. Destroying the hexagons earns the players blocks, which can be used to build engines or silos, the latter of which can capture more blocks.[2]
