About the game

Each player plays a large cybernetic creature known as a bioborg, which wanders about a radioactive science fiction landscape. Bioborgs are large, humorously dangerous looking creatures with names such as Elvin the Tyrexian (a mutated T. Rex) or Kizaro the Chimpanzero. The goal is to increase your strength and weaponry and stomp other players' bases before your own is stomped. Expanded by Revenge Of The Factoids with additional Bioborgs, tiles, and unit types.
