About the game
Doomsday Bots is a 2-4 player competitive board game that brings together elements of card drafting, dungeon running and player-vs-player combat. You and your fellow Mad Geniuses must scrounge for parts and assemble the best Bot you can, then race each other to the top of the Boss’s Clock Tower. Work together or go it alone to defeat the Boss, but only one can escape to victory with the highly coveted Boss Loot! The game is set in a Steampunk Post-Apocalyptic world where all that has survived are Mad Geniuses and a virtually endless supply of moddable Bots! These Geniuses have got it into their head that they can do the End of the World better than the last guy. But there are less rare components left from the pre-apocalypse than there are inventors competing for them. So you’d better strap on your Goggles and enter the fray. If anyone’s going to end the world again, it’s you! Seize the Doomsday! —description from the publisher

Questions and answers
Doomsday Bots supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Doomsday Bots is 30–60 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Doomsday Bots for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Doomsday Bots has a complexity rating of 1.5 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
