Death By Robot is a turn-based board game for 2 to 6 players where nobody controls the killer robot, and everybody does. Each turn you roll the dice to send it rampaging across a hex arena, then play a card to steer it, speed it up, spin it around or teleport it right on top of a rival. Keep your own piece out of its path, push your opponents into danger, and be the last one standing.
How It Plays
On your turn, roll the dice to drive the robot across the board. Then play cards from your hand to bend the robot's path your way, and move your piece to safety. Conveyor belts carry the robot along, rotate tiles spin it in new directions, and walls stop it in its tracks. Any piece the robot walks onto is destroyed, so every move is a gamble: will it crush your rival, or turn back toward you?
