NanoBot Battle Arena (2014)

About this game

Many games are EPIC and take place in a massive world, we wanted to make a game that takes place in a petri dish with minuscule armies battling for dominance. An exciting tabletop strategy game for 2 to 8 players, where each competes to form the longest chain of NanoBots. There are 8 types of NanoBots, each with its own special ability. Players take turns playing their NanoBots and cards to build their chain or disrupt others’ until someone runs out of NanoBots. Be careful to watch your bots, you don’t want to play your last one without the longest chain in your grasp.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 8.
• Rules load. At 1.8/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
