    Are you really sold on laminate? it's very slippery and I would consider a different material
    Maybe carpet or even a runner.

    The edges of the laminate will be a challenge at the very least..
    If money is a concern maybe try using pine or native wood that is cost effective
    Good luck and have fun

    Laminates are not recommended for this application. I think it would be more work than you think and it would not be a safe surface.
