Description
Ricochet Robots is a puzzle-like game that's all about finding the most efficient solution. The game features a modular board with a large room and walls, as well as color-coded targets and four robots. The goal is to get the like-colored robot to a randomly selected target in the fewest moves possible. The twist is that once a robot starts moving, it won't stop until it hits a wall or another robot, so players need to think carefully about the sequence of moves. With easy-to-learn rules and a playtime of just 30 minutes, Ricochet Robots is a great game for anyone looking for a fun and challenging puzzle to solve. It can be played with anywhere from 1 to 99 players, making it a great option for groups of all sizes. Despite being published in 1999, the game's abstract strategy and real-time mechanics still hold up today, offering a unique and engaging experience for players of all ages.
