About the game
In this two player game, player takes turns choosing a team of 5 Bots. Each Bot rolls 2 or 3 dice each of which can specialize in offense or defense. Each die has a combination of the following faces: Super Hit, which destroys an opponent's die of your choice. Hit, which destroys one Damaged die. Damaged, which is eliminated by a Hit or Super Hit. Armor, which is eliminated by a Super Hit only. One player rolls their dice onto the board which represent the arena, then the other player does the same. Then the dice are compared and all results take place. If one player is out of dice, their robot is destroyed and they must choose a new one for the next round. The game is in the actual throwing of the dice, which adds a dexterity element. The arena has four holes which act as traps that the dice can fall through. Players can throw their dice at an opponent's in a attempt to change the results, or knock them into a hole or out of the arena. There are also two small areas called "Pulverizer Zones", if a die lands in this area, the opponent gets the opportunity to throw a special "Pulverizer" die into the arena.
