WARNING: Lasers Active!

As one of several supercomputers in a fully automated widget factory, you have it made. Your are brilliant. Your are powerful. You are sophisticated. You are BORED.

So enjoy a little fun at the factory's expense! With the other computers, you program factory robots and pit them against each other in frantic, destructive races across the factory floors. Be the first to touch the flags, in order, and you win it all: the honor, the glory, the grudging respect of the other computers. But first you have to get your robot past obstacles like gaping pits, industrial lasers, moving conveyor belts and, of course, all the other robots!

This game of mechanized mayhem has maintained a dedicated following of fans and fanatics through game clubs, play-by-mail forums, and internet communities. RoboRally was designed by Richard Garfield the creator of the MAGIC: The Gathering trading card game.

RoboRally is a fast-moving robot race. Each player tries to be the first to cross a series of checkpoints by maneuvering a robot across the floor of the "Grid Widget Factory." The course is laced with perils such as lasers, crushers, missile launchers, and conveyer belts.

The 2005 edition of RoboRally includes new design and play mechanics that differ from the game's original 1994 release, but it's still completely compatible with the first edition.

Here's what comes in your RoboRally box:

  • 8 Plastic Robots
  • 4 two-sided Factory Floor Boards
  • 1 two-sided Docking Bay Board
  • 2 Factory Floor Guides
  • 1 Rulebook containing
    • 10 pages of rules
    • 24 pages of racecourse layouts
  • 8 Program Sheets
  • 26 Option Cards
  • 84 Program Cards
  • 8 Flags with Number Stickers
  • 1 Sand Timer
  • 40 Life Tokens
  • 60 Damage Tokens
  • 8 Power Down Tokens
  • 8 Archive Markers

The Boards

Instead of one board, RoboRally comes with four two-sided game boards that can be arranged in hundreds of ways to create an almost endless variety of racecourses. Each race is a new challenge!

Remember that this race is taking place in the robot factory. The factory floor is filled with machinery that's handy to have when you're making robots but not so helpful when you're racing from here to there. Walls, conveyor belts, rotating platforms, pits, and lasers are among the hazards that make races interesting at Widget Manufacturing.

Besides the different board arrangements, the racecourse can be different sizes. The Course Manual shows 34 courses varying from simple, one-board layouts to monster, four-board marathons. There are ten beginner courses, nineteen expert courses, and five team courses. Each course is rated as short, medium, or long; as easy, mid, or hard; and for the optimum number of players.
