==Firing Your Laser==
<table><tr valign="top"><td align="left">
* If, after the movement is complete, you are aimed at another Zamboni in range (within 4 squares) you can fire your laser. ZamobnisZambonis can fire along straight or diagonal paths on the board. (However, you will need to use your last movement point to turn 45-degrees in order to fire a diagonal shot.)
* If you have a clear shot, roll the six-sided die to see if you hit. If the target still has a complete Zamboni (one complete [[nest]]), you need a 5 or 6 to hit. If they only have 2 pieces left ([[small piece]] and [[medium piece]]), you need a 4, 5, or 6 to hit. If they only have a [[small piece]] left, your shot automatically hits.
* If you hit the target, one layer of armor is removed from the target Zamboni. (Take the largest piece from the [[nest]] and remove it from the game.) If the Zamboni is already down to its last piece, it is destroyed and eliminated from the game.

==Notes==
I created this game out of a desire to show demo attendees other games you could play using Treehouse and Martian Coasters. I like the idea of using Icehouse pieces on their sides a'à la [[RAMbots]] and thought a tank/maze battle would work really well with the various components.
