About the game
What you do in a play session
In a distant future, humanity has vanished, leaving behind only lush nature and sentient machines that now roam the Earth. These machines, known as Bots, have a single purpose: to fight! Rumblebots is a deck management card game inspired by popular Auto Battler video games, where you assemble your team of combat robots and launch them into the arena to see who will be the last one standing. The game's dynamic unfolds over six rounds, each with two crucial phases: Build and Battle. In the Build Phase, the fun begins! You'll recruit new Bots for your deck, seeking powerful synergies, recycling units that are no longer useful, or leveling up your robots to create increasingly formidable machines. How about risking it all with an army of simpler, yet aggressive automatons? The choice is yours, and strategy is key. Next, in the Battle Phase, it's time to see your creations in action. Teams clash in a series of almost automatic battles. The current champion is challenged by the next team, and the last champion remaining in the arena earns valuable crystals to upgrade their Workshop and further evolve their Bots. In the final showdown, the last team of Bots standing secures victory!
