Robot Quest Arena is a deckbuilding arena brawl with pre-painted robot miniatures. Battery cards do the heavy lifting: you spend them to move, power your weapons and buy better cards for your deck. Navigate around the arena's hazards, line up shots on your opponents and blast them for points. The good news for sore losers: destroyed bots respawn every round, so you are never out of the action for long. This 2023 release is a humorous, take-that fight for two to four players, best with four, and a round or two of trash talk is part of the package.

Who it's for

You want a deckbuilder with miniatures and a humorous fight on a grid, for up to four.

Not for you if…

You want a calm, low-conflict game. Everyone is shooting everyone else.

Vibe's take

Brash, jokey and a bit chaotic. You buy cards, fire lasers, push rivals into hazards and bounce back the moment you are destroyed.
