Description

In the world of RoboTroc, players take on the role of mad scientists competing to build the most powerful robots from salvaged spare parts. With easy-to-learn rules, 2 to 4 players can dive into this 15-minute game, navigating a junkyard to scrounge for components. The game is set up with a 9x5 grid of 45 cards, and each player takes a character card, moving around the grid to claim cards and collect parts for their robots. As players collect cards, they can use their gathered weapons to steal parts from opponents or secure the cards they need. With the ability to construct multiple robots, each worth a base 10 points plus the value of its parts, players must strategically assemble their robots to earn the highest score. With its unique blend of area majority, area movement, and pattern recognition mechanics, RoboTroc offers a fun and challenging experience for players of all ages. Designed by Cesare Mainardi and published in 2012, this science fiction-themed card game is perfect for families and casual gamers looking for a quick and exciting game to play together.
