Blastbots is a turn-based, 2-4 player game that focuses on resource gathering and strategic card play! You start the game with 10 turns to evacuate the planet before a meteor makes impact and destroys the planet!!!!
Cards are collected by betting on which dice numbers will be rolled, similar to games like craps or roulette. When a number you "bet" on is rolled, you collect 2 cards from the deck that corresponds to the resource section where your betting token is placed.
There are 3 different types of cards you can draw: ROCKET CARDS (BUILD ROCKETS TO BLAST INTO SPACE), BATTLE CARDS (BUILD FORCES TO BLAST YOUR ENEMIES INTO SPACE DUST), AND DISCOVERY CARDS (DO SCIENCE-Y THINGS TO ENHANCE YOUR BLASTING ABILITIES)!
Each player's turn goes through 5 stages where you draw cards, launch rockets, and attack other players. Lastly, players move their meteor piece one space clockwise on the Doomsday Clock. THE GAME ENDS IMMEDIATELY ONCe ANY PLAYER'S METEOR TOTEM REACHES "IMPACT" ON THE DOOMSDAY CLOCK!!!
To win you need to get 15 of your rockets into the safety of space before the meteor makes impact; alternatively, you can try to destroy 15 enemy rockets to doom your opponents! Rest assured that mutually assured destruction has never been this fun! WILL You be able to survive!???
