Description

Critter-Tek is a hilarious and lighthearted take on the traditional mech battle genre, where instead of piloting giant robots, players control mechanical TEKs powered by animals on treadmills. The game is a tongue-in-cheek parody of Battletech, with a unique twist that replaces high-tech machinery with furrier, more adorable counterparts. Players construct their TEKs with hamster powered gyros, paper mache armor, and equip them with silly weapons like spit-wad blowguns, slingshots, and leftover fireworks. This simple yet entertaining game is easy to learn and can be explained quickly, making it perfect for a fun 30-minute play session with a friend. The game's designers, Paul Lidberg and L. Douglas Garrett, have successfully combined elements of science fiction, animals, and humor to create a game that's both humorous and engaging. With the addition of new elements like subterranean movement for burrowing animals, Critter-Tek offers a fresh spin on classic game mechanics. Whether you're a seasoned gamer or just looking for a fun introduction to the world of tabletop gaming, Critter-Tek is a great choice, especially for younger players looking for a fun and lighthearted experience.
