About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to call for reinforcements, because the crystal battle in Rumblebots is about to get more intense! This expansion pack brings five awesome new Bots to the battlefield, each with unique abilities that promise to shake up your strategies. We're talking about new ways to end the game, never-before-seen dynamics for building your robot army, and some tricky surprises that can come from lower-tier 'bots'. If you already enjoy the robot brawling and hand management of the base game, you'll love the extra layers of strategy these new combatants add. The pack comes with 11 cards in total: two copies of each of the five new Bots – Smashroom, Flock Commander, Bearserk, Necroforge, and Botsai – and a dedicated card for rules and FAQs so you won't get lost in the heat of battle. It's the shot of variety your Rumblebots needed to keep games fresh and challenging!
