Tiny Robots

Close all circuits!

In the robot factory engineers rival for jury points for their unique robot constructions.

125 robot parts in different colors on the front side show lines as parts of circuits on the back side and are spread on the table with the circuit side up. In your turn as the active player you have four action options and can choose to do all of them or only one or two or three, always in any order of your choice:

1. Take a part from stock and begin a robot or add it to your robot. 2 Turn over three parts in stock, show the front side to all players and turn the tiles back over again. You can check the front side of your robot anytime without having to show it to others. 3. Remove a part of your robot and put it back into stock. 4: Declare your robot to be complete. For this the robot must comprise a minimum of three tiles and all parts that you hold must be integrated into the robot. You score your robot – 1 point per part or 2 points when all parts have the same color, plus 4 points if the robot features three different technology symbols OR plus 6 points if it features three symbols of the same kind. For each mistake in the circuit, that is, each unconnected node on the circuit side you must deduct a point. When the stock is empty or nobody wants to take tiles anymore, you win with most points.

Assembling sets based on a robot topic, the hunt for suitable circuit parts is fun! Identical color is nice, but not essential, closed circuits are much more important, even if the arms are then beneath the legs! And you need a good memory for where parts got put back to by others. And yes, lots of tiny robots make sense!
