The world might be in ruins, but the arena is still burning with robots that never quit. Each player takes control of a customizable robot and enters a frantic battle for survival. The objective is simple: destroy opponents and collect their modules as trophies to secure victory. The arena is a modular board made of hexagons, where every space counts. During combat, you can collect new modules to power up your robot, making it deadlier and granting new abilities. Consider the module combinations your robot can use each turn to turn, move, attack, and defend. The weapon options are diverse, ranging from melee combat to direct fire, explosives, and even sonic attacks. Every bit of damage to an opponent's robot means victory points for you. The game ends when a robot is completely destroyed or when the modules run out, and whoever has the most trophies claims the glory. It's pure robotic action with a strategic twist, perfect for those who enjoy a good clash and aren't afraid to get their hands (or circuits) dirty! ## FAQ ### How many players can participate in a game of Steel Arena?
