Robot Master

Description

Robot Master is a strategic board game designed by Reiner Knizia, where players aim to outmaneuver each other by placing robots on a 5x5 grid. With a deck of 36 robots, each with values ranging from 0 to 5, players must think carefully about which robots to place in each row or column to maximize their score. The twist is that pairs of identical robots in a row are worth ten times their face value, while three robots of the same type are worth a whopping 100 points. In this quick 15-minute game, players must balance risk and reward to avoid having the lowest-valued row or column at the end of the game. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, Robot Master is easy to learn but challenging to master, making it a great game for 1 to 4 players. Published in 2008, this sci-fi themed game combines hand management and tile placement mechanics to create a fun and engaging experience.
