Helltoken:

Remote Control Robot

Intense rivalry for ownership and control of a robot. Evil organizations try to destroy opposing bases and find their own. You select one organization and take the four remote control card for your organization. Then each player deploys four base cards face-down and players look at opposing base cards and makes a note of locations.

A player’s turn comprises: 1. Facultative - name password by naming all locations of your own bases, maximum twice in a game. 2. Move robot three steps, the opponent can play remote control cards to move the robot by one step for each card or not play a card and reveal all used remote control cards again. 3. Draw one action card, resolve its eventual special effect and then roll a die for attack; the attack value = damage equals the dice result plus damage adjustment value of the action card. The robot attacks the eight cases surrounding him, in case of border locations less cases. From the attacked cases you select a number equal to the damage value. Players then check im bases were damaged and may have to remove endurance markers from damaged bases.

You win, if you damage an opposing base to reduce its endurance to 5 or less, or if you correctly name the location of all your own bases - remember, you have only two tries! In the advanced version you have a special agent with special ability, which usually can be used once.

Battleship reversed - you must find your own bases and destroy opposing ones, provided you have good dice results and robot movement for efficient attacks on opposing bases; however, attacks that too obviously avoid certain positions are not good tactical moves.
