Robot Face Race

It’s Machine Madness!

A crazy inventor is constructing robots, hundreds of robots, but unfortunately he has not managed to collect the correct heads for them. Those heads need to be found and all players help the inventor to find them. The game board shows 120 different heads – those heads come in five different colors – yellow, green, blue, purple and red – and those five colors can also appear in eyes, mouth and nose of those heads. Each player takes five robot chips in one of the four colors. The currently active player takes the Robomat and shakes it properly so that four of five possible marbles end up in the slots – one of the slots has room for two marbles. The result determines – marked by easily distinguished symbols – the four colors for the head that needs to be found. No color can appear twice, as the Robomat only holds one marble for each of the five colors.

All players now search the board for, for instance, a purple head with read eyes, a blue nose and a green mouth. Whoever finds the head first, puts one of his chips on it. The other players stop searching and use the Robomat to check the head on the board. If it is the correct head, you can set aside your chip. If it is not the correct head, you take back your chip and must pass during the next round. The successful spotter becomes the next “inventor” and shakes the Robomat as active player. Whoever manages to discard all five of his chips first, wins the game.

A super simple and super fun game, very attractive not only for children, but also for families. All you need is quick and correct observing. Any method to search is fine, provided that you are fast!
