About the game
The Master Robot rules Robotopia with an iron fist - literally! Rebellion is brewing, and the robot guilds are looking for a new leader. Do you have what it takes to run the factory? Robotopia is a worker-placement game about robots who want to rule. Each player is an ambitious robot working to usurp the Master Robot and take control of the factory. Each round, you’ll place a robot on a factory location. This robot will stay at work on the board, and no longer belongs to you. The robot will activate any factory spaces it touches to collect resources, build generators, and influence the robot guilds. The bigger the robot, the more spaces it can use. When you run out of robots, power your generators to build more and move the Master Robot around the factory to crush robots into resource cubes. Gain influence with the robot guilds by spending resources and completing schematics. The game ends once a player has achieved influence with all four of the robot guilds. The first player who does this, wins the game!

Questions and answers
Robotopia supports 1–5 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Robotopia is 75–90 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Robotopia for ages 14 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Robotopia has a complexity rating of 3.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-weight game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
