About the game
Robo Rescue: Origins is the precursor to the Robo Rescue board game, where players face the heart-wrenching challenge of rescuing the very robots they create in Origins. Play solo or compete with friends, each with their own deck. Get ready to put your engineering skills to the test! In Robo Rescue: Origins, you'll carefully select components to build your robot, aiming for the highest possible score. Each card represents a different part, with unique point values. Strategize, optimize, and create the most impressive robot to earn your place on the Martian expedition! Set Up Your Lab: Ready to engineer some amazing robots? First, set up your lab! This is your personal building space. Collect Parts: Next, it's time to COLLECT! Draw robot part cards from the main deck OR grab the perfect piece from the face-up display. Build Your Robots: Now, let's BUILD! Strategically place your collected parts in your Workshop or Storage. Score Your Lab: Time to SCORE! Once you've placed 8 robot parts, choose your 2 BEST scoring lab areas to tally your points for the round. Win: After 6 rounds of robot-building, it's time to add up the points to see who's the top engineer! Surpass your own limits as a solo engineer, or beat your fellow gamers in a multiplayer game to win. —description from the publisher
