About the game
If you thought that factory robots took the weekend off like you do (well, most of you), then you haven't seen a Robo Rally yet. When the supervisors are gone and the cameras have been angled to watch the ceiling, the robots take charge and participate in exciting and deadly race-battles. Robo Rally is a competitive racing game full of robotic chaos! Program your robot to tag checkpoints, attach powerful upgrades, and turn this dreary old warehouse into a fabulous fast and frenzied fun factory! Robo Rally: 30th Anniversary is a special edition of Robo Rally that features eight pre-painted robots, four new double-sided game boards, wooden tokens, a metal priority token, and dual-layered player boards.
