About the game

What you do in a play session

Get your circuits ready and tighten your bolts, because RoboRally: Radioactive is here to add more fuel to the fire of your widget factory! This expansion brings a whirlwind of new hazards and challenges that will make your robots sweat hot oil. If you already thought the original RoboRally was programmed madness, just wait until you see what awaits you here.

With three brand-new boards – Shake 'N' Bake, Pinwheel, and Reactor Core – fun is guaranteed and unpredictability is the name of the game. Each of these scenarios brings its own traps and twists, combining the classic RoboRally chaos with novelties that will test your ability to predict the unpredictable. The expansion not only adds these new layouts but also integrates seamlessly with the elements you already love from the base game, elevating the experience to a new level of adrenaline.

RoboRally: Radioactive is for those who aren't afraid of a good dose of chaos and want more variety in their robotic races. Simultaneous action selection remains the heart of the game, but the new hazards ensure that each round is a new adventure. It's the kind of expansion that injects freshness and more challenges, ideal for those who have already mastered the basic rules and are looking to expand RoboRally's possibilities. Get ready to program, expect the unexpected, and maybe even explode a little along the way. After all, it's RoboRally, right?
