Robogem (2015)

About this game

A programming game, designed to teach kids (6+) to program. Players try to collect gems by programming a robot on the board. The robot takes three commands: move forward, turn left and turn right. Players string these commands to guide the robots. Advanced games include functions that can contain many moves which can then be repeated when wanted. First player to collect three gems and return them to their home base wins the game.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 6 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
