Game Play

RumboBot is a fun and fast-paced card game for 2-4 players! The goal is to be the first player to build your RumboBot or destroy all of your opponents' RumboBots.

To start, players will select a RumboBot torso to place in front of them. Each RumboBot has special abilities listed on their card, so choose the one that best fits you! Players will then be dealt four cards to start the game and the remaining cards are used as a draw pile, with space for a discard pile.

On your turn, you can play as many cards as you wish to build your RumboBot and attack your opponents' RumboBots. You will end your turn by drawing one card from the draw pile. If you have no cards in your hand, you will draw two cards instead. Cards that were just drawn can't be played until your next turn and cards can't be traded with other players during the game. If the draw pile runs out, all cards in the discard pile will be shuffled and used again as the draw pile.

There are three types of cards in the game: RumboBots' Parts, Action, and Attack cards.

RumboBots' Parts cards may be attached to your torso during your turn. Any part can be attached to your torso, even if it doesn't belong to your RumboBot. However, if a part belongs to the character on the torso, it is considered a proprietary part and harder to attack or steal. Players can replace existing parts on their RumboBot for other similar parts in their hand, discarding the old parts. The first player to complete their RumboBot wins the game!

Action cards have instructions on them and can be played towards any opponent during your turn. You can steal from opponents' RumboBots, raid your opponent's hand, make them skip a turn, or raid the discard pile for a part. Proprietary parts are harder to steal and require 2 RumboPoints to steal. Once played, action cards are discarded.

Attack cards are used against any opponent's RumboBot and can vary in the damage they cause based on your RumboBot's character card. Each attack card usually counts as one RumboPoint. Some RumboBots have special moves that require a successful coin flip and can count for multiple points. A RumboBot's torso can be attacked directly, even if parts are attached. A RumboBot is defeated once their torso is destroyed. Defeated RumboBots parts and attack cards are discarded

If your opponent has a Block card, they can play it after you've declared your attack. The block card and attack cards are then discarded, and the attack is blocked.

To play with more than 4 players, you'll need character expansion sets or additional decks. Get ready to build, attack and defeat your opponents in RumboBot!
