## Description
Get ready to get your hands dirty in Raising Robots! Here, you step into the shoes of a brilliant inventor tasked with building the biggest and most impressive robot collection the world has ever seen. But beware, because it's a fierce race, and everyone plays at the same time!

In each of the eight rounds, players simultaneously choose and execute their actions: there's something for everyone, whether you want to upgrade technologies, assemble parts, design blueprints, fabricate components, or even recycle what's no longer useful. The trick is that the power of each action can vary – the more power you use, the more potent the action, but be warned: the most powerful actions might end up giving your opponents a helping hand too! It's a delicate balance between boosting your own project and, perhaps unintentionally, giving rivals a little nudge.

This game is a treat for those who enjoy engine building, where your actions today pave the way for even more powerful plays tomorrow. With simultaneous action selection, downtime is minimal, and tension fills the air as everyone makes their moves at once. Whoever excels at accumulating points by the end of the eight rounds claims the glory of supreme inventor. Raising Robots also offers a neat solo mode, allowing you to test your engineering skills against the game itself. It's a game with a more strategic feel, ideal for those who like to think and plan, but without unnecessary delays at the table.
