About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for more chaos and destruction with RoboRally: Crash and Burn, the second expansion that supercharges the already frantic robot racing game! If you thought programming your robot to dodge lasers and conveyor belts was tricky, things just got a whole lot more intense. This expansion introduces two new modular boards, the Blast Furnace and the Machine Shop, each with its own unique dangers and challenges. Think conveyor belts that fling you away, rolling floors that drag you into peril, and even contraptions that might lend a hand (or sabotage you!).
In addition to the boards, you get new factory elements to spice up the course and a new version of the Factory Floor Guide, which, let's be honest, will be more useful for cleaning up the mess after the robots crash than for preventing it from happening. And for those who played the original Wizards of the Coast version and missed having more people in the mayhem, this expansion, published by AMIGO, allows up to 8 players to hit the track (the base AMIGO version only goes up to 4). With new robots, option cards, and damage and life markers, Crash and Burn ensures the fun (and destruction) never stops. It's the perfect expansion for anyone who loves the programmed chaos of RoboRally and wants more challenges and players at the table.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Do I need the base RoboRally game to play with Crash and Burn?
Yes, absolutely! Crash and Burn is an expansion, so you need to own the original RoboRally to use the new components and boards.
How many players can participate with this expansion?
The expansion allows you to play with up to 8 players, whereas the base AMIGO version only supports up to 4. If you have the original Wizards of the Coast version, it already supported 8, but the expansion adds more content for that larger group.
Does the expansion significantly change the core rules of RoboRally?
It adds new factory elements and two new boards with unique challenges, which increases complexity and chaos. The core rules of robot programming and simultaneous action selection remain the same, but with more options and dangers.
What comes in the expansion box?
It includes 4 plastic robots (with backup copies!), programming assistants, 4 boards, 8 factory guides, option cards, factory elements, damage and life markers, and a rulebook.
Is it difficult to learn the new elements?
The core rules are the same as the base game. The new elements are mainly on the new boards and components, which you learn by playing. The revised Factory Floor Guide also helps a bit.
Is it worth it for those who already own the base RoboRally?
If you enjoy the game and want more variety, more chaos, and the ability to play with more friends, then yes! The new boards offer very interesting challenges.
