About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a battle of nuts and bolts in S'Crew Up: Bots & Nuts! This strategic card game has you managing a team of robots to optimize production in a wacky factory. The catch? A bug in the system update has turned robots against each other in a frantic pursuit of efficiency that involves sabotage and destruction. Each player controls four robots with unique abilities, using worker placement mechanics to activate the production line, gather resources, and fix damages. But beware: the production line also serves as a battlefield! Robots can block spaces, and even worse, bigger robots can simply smash smaller ones, sending them back to the workshop for repairs. The game is quick, lasting around 30 minutes, and victory goes to the first player to clear their workshop of all problems and organize their production line. Tension mounts as combos emerge, and a sure victory can turn into a robotic farewell in the blink of an eye. If you enjoy games with direct interaction, a touch of humor, and fast-paced strategy, S'Crew Up: Bots & Nuts is a solid choice to get your friends clashing (literally!).
