About the game

What you do in a play session

If you thought Robot Quest Arena was already a blast, get ready for this! The Kettle Robot Pack introduces a brand new metallic warrior to the arena, ready to stir up some trouble. Along with it, you get 20 new cards for your main deck and 3 fresh tiles to spice up the battles. And that's not all: there's a set of brand-new starter cards to get you going right from the start.

The main attraction here is the introduction of cards with the Defense mechanic. Think of them as an upgraded shield: they enter play and act as extra hit points, protecting you while also granting you special abilities. It's like having a robotic bodyguard that also gives you an upgrade! Just be careful, because your opponents will target these cards to leave you vulnerable again. This mechanic adds an interesting tactical layer, where you need to manage not only your offense but also your active defense. It's an expansion that injects more strategy and variety into the matches, maintaining the fast-paced, explosive action we already know. If you enjoy the idea of customizing your robot and seeing it gain new abilities each game, this pack is for you!
