About the game

What you do in a play session

Time to supercharge your Robo Rally! This expansion, 'Armed and Dangerous', is not for the faint of heart. It brings no less than six new boards, which is as many as the base game! And to make everything more chaotic and fun, there are 26 brand-new option cards, complete with counters to keep track of the new madness. Get ready to encounter teleporters that send you far away (or too close!), randomizers that can change everything in the blink of an eye, and, of course, that treacherous water that nobody wants to fall into. Oh, and the boards are more colorful, giving the visuals a boost. If you already enjoy the crazy rush of robots programming themselves and bumping into each other, this expansion is a full plate to add more challenges and laughs to your games. It's the kind of thing that makes the game even more unpredictable and exciting, ensuring every race is a new adventure. With more options and dangers, the fun is guaranteed for those who like programming robots and hoping everything goes right (or wrong, depending on your perspective!).
