Borderlands: Tiny Tina's Robot Tea Party is a board game released in 2019 for 2–5 players, 15–45 minutes per game, and ages 13 and up. It was designed by Adam McCrimmon and its main mechanics are Hand Management, Take That, and Set Collection.
Description Sometime after the fall of Handsome Jack, in-between bomb-making and bandit-killing, Tina decided to try her hand at making her own board game. After all, everyone seemed to love her session of Bunkers & Badasses and vault hunters need something to do in their downtime. She started by tearing apart and jamming back together ACTUAL Claptrap units, but the sounds of their protests and complaints got a bit annoying. After consulting Princess Fluffybutt and Sir Reginald she opted for a card game instead. So grab some crumpets, drink some tea and join Tina in torturing (and building) Claptraps of 5 varieties. Along the way you’ll enlist some help from Brick, Mordecai, Moxxi and Earl to mess with your opponents and find what you need to win. Featuring brand new original art and character designs never seen anywhere else; Borderlands: Tiny Tina’s Robot Tea Party is the first wide release tabletop game ever set in the Borderlands universe. It’s made to be the perfect filler game, with dead simple rules, a quick play time and plenty of interaction. This officially licensed product is a collaboration of Nerdvana Games, Gearbox Software and XYZ Game Labs. —description from the publisher
