Scrappers (2009)

About this game

Following the success of their critically acclaimed family card game, Infernal Contraption, Privateer Press is pleased to announce Scrappers, a family board game for 2-4 players ages 9 and up. In Scrappers players take on the role of lively goblin mechanics as they race around a factory trying to pull parts off a constantly moving conveyor belt in order to be the first to complete their contraptions. Featuring stunning full-color artwork from Privateer Press Artist Chris Walton, Scrappers is scheduled to release world-wide in September 2009. “The game features fast, intuitive game play that takes only minutes to learn, but presents a strategic depth that will challenge both new young players and seasoned veterans alike,” said Privateer Press Chief Creative Officer Matt Wilson when asked about the new Bodgers game, “Add to that the maniacal and zany cast of the Bodgers goblin mechanics and Scrappers is a game everyone will want to play again and again.”

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.7/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 9 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
