This game is certainly one where the people in it hear the Giant Robot Alert going off all the time. In Atlantic Robot League, players are looking to make bets on battles between massive fighting robots. Will you take home a bundle of cash or with your pockets turned inside-out?
From the article:
In Atlantic Robot League, players place bets on the outcome of a massive mech battle the size of a dozen city blocks! After bets are placed, they get the chance to influence the battle by sliding the Mechs across the arena, knocking out rivals, and buying Scheme cards from the Insider to bend the rules. Particularly devious gamblers might even pay the Fixer to change their bets during the battle!
There are five teams, such as the Mid-Atlantic Cavaliers, and the Beasts of the East, each with three different mechs. Each round, you’ll randomly assign the starting positions, and then make all of these bets:
- Which team will have the most surviving mechs?
- Which team will KO the most opposing mechs?
- Which team will be eliminated first?
- Which five specific mechs will survive?
When the mechanical carnage dies down, and there are five or fewer Mechs in the Arena, the round ends. You compare your betting cards, determine your points, and then get ready for the next round by resetting the Mechs, and determining your bets. After three rounds, add up all of your points, and whoever has the most points is the winner!
Atlantic Robot League’s innovative gameplay is designed by Camden Clutter, and the neon-filled futuristic illustrations are from Gabo. Will you hedge your bets by selecting a variety of mechs, or double down on your favorite teams in search of a massive payout? Find out on gameday for the Atlantic Robot League!
