About the game
Robots Love Ice Cream: The Card Game is a family-friendly semi-cooperative game for 1-4 players ages 10+ that can be played in about 30 minutes or less. The game is based on the hit mobile video game Robots Love Ice Cream released by Dragon Army, and this card game features all of the same characters and art style found in the video game, plus new illustrations available only in the tabletop version. In the game, Spinston and his robot army are invading planets in search of ice cream. Your mission is to take control of an ice cream truck and use matching sets of weaponized ice cream to ward off the enemy robots. When the robots are destroyed they drop Sprinkletonium, a supercharged element that can be used to upgrade the weapons on your truck. Defeat Spinston on each planet and rescue the ice cream to score victory points. Saving the galaxy is pretty sweet!
