In Robo Rescue, homesick robots race for home in this turn-based, programmed movement strategy board game. 2047. The human scientists have left. Silence echoes through the deserted Martian Research Facility. Four robots abandoned, embark on an adventure to reunite with their human creator back on Earth. Who will be the first one to repair the rocket engines of their spacecraft and blast off? This competition is fueled by homesickness, ingenuity, and the unwavering bond between robots and their creators. Each player becomes an engineer, guiding their robot companion through the abandoned facility in search for resources using remote commands. Be the first to repair all 4 of your rocket engines to claim victory and blast off! Each player’s turn consists of: Movement - Guide your robot with each carefully chosen command. Movement cards become your words, directing your robot to scoot forward, turn left, or take a daring right. Throw in a Blast! to blow up a Container Box, or activate a Levitate to glide over obstacles. Board Actions - Energy cells hidden in the old labs, spare parts scattered among the workbenches, and maybe even some leftover oil to grease those rusty gears. Scavenge for resources needed to repair your rocket engines. Conversions - Convert your collected resources into the essential components needed for your spacecraft.
