-description from the publisher
Before play begins, all players must agree together on what the premise of their robots' adventure in this game will be. To do this they must answer three simple questions:
Where did they travel to?
What year did they travel to?
What are they trying to do?
Each player will select a robot type and take all three CPU cards. Select a player to set the scene with a short narration and then play begins with the player to their left.
On your turn, you will take exactly one action from your available CPU cards actions. Once you've chosen your action, explain to the group how you are going to use that action and the outcome you hope it will achieve. The player to your right will then decide if your proposed action is reasonable.
If your action is denied, you must choose a different action or a different resolution. If your action is approved, rotate the card so that a new action is available and roll the die to see if it succeeds. Your odds of success are based upon which CPU your action is coming from.
If your die roll was successful, you plan works. The player to your right narrates your success. If your action fails, they narrate exactly how you ended up failing. Then they narrate some consequences.
If you fail, roll a six-sided die to see if your failure results in any damage, by losing a CPU of your choice.
If a player loses their last CPU, they are dead and out of the game. Play continues until either you all accomplish your goal or everyone dies by losing all their CPUs.
