RobotLab: The Card Game is a light card game for 2-5 players, suitable for ages 6+. You take on the role of a scientist trying to be the first to assemble your robot. You draw parts from the lab (arms, legs, and heads) as well as actions cards that help you: find parts for your robot faster, remove unwanted parts from your robot, or catch up by removing parts from other players' robots. The two player game takes about 10 minutes, and each additional player adds 5-8 minutes.

Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
