About the game
I’m not a robot is an amusing fast-paced game of deduction. One of you takes on the role of a robot pretending to be a human. Relying on other players’ associations they try to figure out which picture is the key to access an important database… Even if the robot has no clue it can still have its way — it only has to be humanly clever to remain undisclosed! Before the game players lay down pictures in a 3X3 grid and give each card a number plate from 1 to 9. Then they choose one random bag with cards and deal them to everyone according to the rules. One player may become robot and all other humans will know what picture is the correct one. One by one human player name their associations to show other player that they are human and to confuse the robot. Robot tries to pass of as a human. When all player named their associations robot may try to guess the correct picture. If he is not doing that all players explain their associations and vote on who's the robot.
