Avalon Hill Robo Rally (2016 Edition)

Product Information

Roborallye ist Brett-Spiel für 2 - 8 Mitspieler ab 8 Jahren, und ist damit ein hevorragendes Familienspiel. What if robots are tied for priority? In this example, Zoom Bot, in green, and Smash Bot, in yellow, are an equal number of spaces away from the antenna. Players continue playing turns until one of the robots has touched all flags positioned on the board. Surviving long enough to touch the flags can be a real challenge! This is the simplest form of damage. Robots must take a SPAM damage card when they are shot by a board or robot laser.

When all players but one have chosen their cards, the 30-second sand timer is started. If this runs out while the last player is still choosing cards, the player's cards are chosen at random from the player's hand. Players move their robots or apply damage as needed due to board hazards. For example, a robot sitting on an Express Conveyor Belt would be moved 2 spaces in the direction of the arrows on the belt. Another robot sitting in the path of a Laser Fire would receive one damage. Count by row, then by column. Zoom Bot, in green, is closest to the antenna and therefore has priority. Board lasers cannot fire through walls, the priority antenna, or hit more than one robot, and they shoot from the red and white pointer. (Take a SPAM damage card for each laser that hits you).

Game Play

The Activation Phase: Activate your robot, and carry out its programming. Board elements will also activate. During the upgrade and activation phases, players must determine priority to see who goes first. In the programming phase, players will perform actions simultaneously. You can use permanent or temporary upgrades during the programming and activation phases. See each upgrade card for specific details regarding that upgrade. As a player, you assume the role of a supercomputer controlling one of eight zany robots in a race against competing robots controlled by rivals. The goal is to be the player whose robot is first to touch all flags on the factory floor. It may not be all that easy, however.

To determine who is closest to the priority antenna, start at the antenna and count the number of spaces to each robot. All week long, the robots of ROBO RALLY toil over their work. There's no escaping their factory home, so these robots know only one joy: to be the victor in their weekly race of survival and sabotage. Add other items to the physical racecourse, based on scale. Some items could include, stands, a press box, concession stand, trees, benches, etc.Board elements only activate if your robot ends the register on them. For example, if you move through a laser's path on any given register but do not end your move on the laser, you will not be hit. Repeat "Activating your robots" steps 1-3 for the remaining registers. Remember, after all players have activated their programming cards for a register, board elements activate, and robot lasers fire. Robot lasers cannot fire through walls or shoot more than one robot. (Remember to take a SPAM damage card for each laser that hits you). Robot lasers fire in the direction a robot is facing. Their range has no limit. Any robot in the line of sight is shot. At the start of the upgrade phase, determine which player has priority. (Remember, it's the player whose robot is closest to the priority antenna).

The next player with priority (that is, the player who is second closest to the antenna) carries out the action in their first register and so on until all players have activated the programming in their first register. Although the V5 Robot Brain is included in the build of the VEX V5 Speedbot, no programming is required. Las reglas de juego son fáciles de entender, el detalle es que el manual viene en ingles, aparte de eso es bastante rápido y sencillo. recomiendo empezar con los mapas que dice el manual para irte acostumbrando al juego y luego tu crear tus propios circuitos The mechanical changes do effectively bring the game into the 21st century, but problems remain. The relatively limited pool of moves available – even when bolstered with an upgrade or two – can make turns feel repetitive and what should be a fast-paced dash feel drawn-out. Robo Rally’s programming heart still beats inside its unattractive metal casing and this version takes the right steps in retuning the gameplay for a modern audience. The issue is that the rest of the game can’t quite live up to the promise, making it hard to recommend over more recent games that have built upon and refined the clever concepts.All players flip over the cards in register one on their player mats, revealing their programming choice. Note that during the activation phase, players take turns activating their robots. This means that all players will activate register one, based on priority.

Das grundsätzliche Problem ist, dass das Spiel meist ewig dauert. Männern gefällt es, Frauen haben durchaus riesige Probleme die Drehungen richtig vorzuprogrammieren und sind dann frustriert, dass ihr Roboter sinnlos gegen Wände fährt oder auch in Gruben fällt. (das darf man vermutlich in der heutigen Zeit gar nicht mehr schreiben...liebe Damen ihr seid dafür bei allen Wort-Sprach-Spielen besser als wir Männer...). RoboRally (Amigo, 1999; and 999 Games, 2000): Basic boards (4, lettered instead of named), prepainted plastic bots (4), color-coded movement cards, counters. In the case of such a tie, imagine an invisible line pointing straight out from the antenna's dish.

Damage and Reboots

The risk-reward aspect involved in gaining and clearing damage gently encourages both more aggressive play and the inevitability of adjusting to unpredictable behaviour, which really remains the game’s strongest draw.

Between 1994 and 1999 Wizards of the Coast (WotC) released the original game, four expansion sets, and a limited edition board.
