Battle Bots (2007)

“The concept behind this game is the programming of warrior robots that fight each other. Each robot comes equipped with 4 sensors, a rotating ablative shield and a turret mounted laser. Inspired by Robo Rally.” The game is played on a square grid, the size of which depends on the number of players. Each player has two pieces, a robot model and a shield marker (the latter denotes the current facing of the robot’s shield). The players also use identical decks of 22 programming cards. These cards are gradually discarded as a player’s robot takes damage.
