Who it's for

Engine-building fans who like simultaneous play, no downtime, and the tension of choices that benefit the whole table.

Not for you if…

You dislike simultaneous-selection games or want actions that purely help you without ever boosting opponents.

🦊

Vibe's take

Busy and calculating, with real tension in the simultaneous reveal; no downtime waiting for turns, but constant second-guessing about how much power to commit knowing it might boost your rivals too.

About this game

Raising Robots casts players as rival inventors racing to assemble the finest collection of robots through eight rounds of simultaneous engine-building. Each round, everyone secretly chooses two or more actions, upgrade, assemble, design, fabricate, recycle, and sets the power behind each one, knowing that the strongest choices also hand a benefit to every opponent at the table.
