Briefing

How it plays

  1. Deploy your squad

    Squads take turns placing robots in a snake draft: in turn order, then in reverse, then in turn order again, so no seat gets the edge.

  2. Command first, act second

    Every robot gets one order a round. The actions wait until everyone is ready. The creatures act first, as they showed, then the orders play out in reverse: the last order given acts first.

  3. 2-6 squads

    A free-for-all for two to six squads, last squad standing. Play friends on their own computers, seat guests at yours, or fill the table with AI commanders.
