RustBots is a robot building turn based card game. The goal is to be the first to assemble a robot that can perform a specific wacky task, thereby completing the mission and gaining points. You are charged with creating this robot by an independent tech genius billionaire whose life mission is to integrate robots into society. He will be holding a contest to find his Chief Engineer. Will it be you? The game is played (2-6 players) in a turn-based fashion. Players draw a “junk card” which represents an item found at the junkyard that can be used to part out and form different robot components (arms, legs, body, head) to help complete the mission. Be careful! Because it is a cutthroat world out there, and other players will do everything in their power to sabotage your progress. The first one who successfully builds a robot that can accomplish the mission wins the round! Each mission differs in difficulty, and rewards points accordingly. The one with the most points at the end of the game wins, and becomes the new Chief Engineer! -description from the designer
