They put in hard hours building high-speed supercars they never get to see in action. But on Saturday nights, the factory becomes a world of mad machines and dangerous schemes as these robots engage in their own epic race.It takes speed, wits, and dirty tricks to become a racing legend! Each player chooses a robot and directs its moves by playing cards. Chaos ensues as all players reveal the cards they've chosen. Players face obstacles like industrial lasers, gaping pits, and moving conveyor belts -- but those can also be used to their advantage! Each player aims to make it to each of the checkpoints in numerical order. The first player to reach all of the checkpoints wins. (source: <a target='_blank' href="http://avalonhill.wizards.com/games/robo-rally/comingsoon" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener">http://avalonhill.wizards.com/games/robo-rally/comingsoon</a>)<br/><br/>In RoboRally players each control a different robot in a race through a dangerous factory floor. Several goals will be placed on the board and you must navigate your robot to them in a specific order. The boards can be combined in several different ways to accommodate different player counts and races can be as long or as short as player's desire.<br/><br/>In general, players will first fill all of their robot's &quot;registers&quot; with facedown movement cards. This happens simultaneously and there is a time element involved. If you don't act fast enough you are forced to place cards randomly to fill the rest. Then, starting with the first register, everyone reveals their card. The card with the highest number moves first. After everyone resolves their movement they reveal the next card and so on. Examples of movement cards may be to turn 90 degrees left or right, move forward 2 spaces, or move backward 1 space though there are a bigger variety than that. You can plan a perfect route, but if another robot runs into you it can push you off course. This can be disastrous since you can't reprogram any cards to fix it!<br/><br/>Robots fire lasers and factory elements resolve after each movement and robots may become damaged. If they take enough damage certain movement cards become fixed and can no longer be changed. If they take more they may be destroyed entirely. The first robot to claim all the goals in the correct order wins, though some may award points and play tournament style.<br/><br/>The game was reprinted by Avalon Hill (Hasbro/WotC) in 2005.<br/><br/>UPC 742818050029<br/><br/> +https://cf.geekdo-images.com/eJx8hRJ6-86C2VrhECwEPA__thumb/img/J1PlqFqtN-hxuXM4eEi-ekANPP4=/fit-in/200x150/filters:strip_icc()/pic1000553.jpg +https://cf.geekdo-images.com/eJx8hRJ6-86C2VrhECwEPA__original/img/-9I8B82hDOO1n0h9urwZUdz6bqc=/0x0/filters:format(jpeg)/pic1000553.jpg +Wizards of the Coast +1994 Origins Awards Best Fantasy or Science Fiction Boardgame Winner +1994 Origins Awards Best Graphic Presentation of a Boardgame Winner +2005 Årets Spill Best Strategy Game Nominee +999 Games +Action Queue +ADC Blackfire Entertainment +AMIGO +AMIGO German ed (1999) +Avalon Hill +Avalon Hill ed (2005) +Avalon Hill edition 2005 +Avalon Hill edition 2010 +Peter Bergting +BGTG - June 11, 2005 (Mike Mayer and Robo Rally) +BGTG 136 - 100 Great Games, part 3 (with Stephen Glenn and Mark Jackson) +Bias +Bob Carasca +Components: 12 x 12 Grids +Components: Miniatures +Components: Sand Timers +Czech edition +Dutch edition +Ep 39 Real Time +Ep 42 Illustrations with Henning Ludvigsen +Ep 47 Grey Fox Games with Josh Lebkowicz +Episode 10: Cosmic Encounter/Why We Play +Episode 19 - Programmed Action +Episode 33 - Top 50, Picks 20-11 +Phil Foglio +French edition +GameBreak Audio Episode #013 - Domo Arigato, Mister Roboto +Richard Garfield +Daniel Gelon +German edition +Grid Movement +Hasbro +I’ve Been Diced! episode 10: Gateway games +I’ve Been Diced! episode 3: Games that stood the test of time +Jennifer Lathrop +Lose a Turn +Ludology Episode 78 - Here We Are Now, Entertain Us +Maze +Miniatures +MN 0035 Racing Games +Modular Board +OBG 30: Start Your Engines +Play Factory +Polyhedron Collider Cast Episode 2 +Programmed Movement +Race +Racing +Robo Rally +Robo Rally: Master Builder +RoboRally: Armed and Dangerous +RoboRally: Crash and Burn +RoboRally: Grand Prix +RoboRally: King of the Hill +RoboRally: Radioactive +Robot Rally: Board game chaos +Scenario / Mission / Campaign Game +Science Fiction +Simultaneous Action Selection +Paul Sottosanti +Strategy Games +The Good, the Board, and the Producers Episode 168 Publisher Profiles 1 EXPRESS +Thematic Games +Theme: Robots +Theme: Sci-Fi Sports +Franz Vohwinkel +Peter Whitley +Wizards of the Coast 1st (1994) and 2nd (1995) eds +Wizards of the Coast first edition +Wizards of the Coast second edition + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +[size=12][COLOR=#009900][b]MIKE'S[/b][/COLOR][/size] +Rating after 1 play of a 2 player game. +It was fun.

Occasionally, a player can get off to a fast start (thanks to the luck factor involved) which reduces interactivity, but all of the games I've played have been fairly close at the end, so I'm not sure it's that big of a problem.

This game can be sooooo frustrating but still fun. +Fun game for the family, but be careful with the setup.. The games can run very long! +I could see this being fun in the right circumstances (ie playing with children), but the level of chaos is bound to frustrate many. +Awesome programming game. Easy to learn, the more people play, the more chaos and fun it will be. +Lovely game in many ways - actually better with more players. Fun-loving, but not terribly strategic. For a good time, it's good. For a good game it's.... feh. My variant now is to play one card at a time. Sure, it's really easy, but it removes the frustration of this game and still maintains the fun at least for me. Feels more strategic too and substantially less chaotic. Sold it. +Some people can direct their robot to the goals with no missteps or confusion. I have infinite respect for those people. My robots bump into walls and lasers, but I still love the chaos. +Brutalmente divertido xD Es una risa y es bastante rápido si juegas con la gente adecuada! jeje Mi segunda partida ganada de forma muy épica tras morir rápidamente 2 veces a principio de partida! :P +I don't know of a game I've laughed harder during than this game.

A lot of fun and quite a bit of a brain-burner when you get near the fast conveyors and twizzles. +Really enjoy RoboRally and one of the games that got me back into board gaming. Prefer playing on smaller boards to get more interaction and can find large maps just degenerate into a race for the flags with little interaction which is the most fun part of the game. +Traded away because it never hit the table. +One of the few games that gets better with more people. Only play with 4 or more. Great fun. +Can't really give it a good rating as I've only played one game. + +Interesting premise. Several programmer friends of mine love the game, and so a friend of a friend brought it out and we finally got to play it. They said that all programmers love it... but my husband wasn't too thrilled by it. Sure, you "program" your robot, but the entire game is about spacial awareness. I'm great at that... my husband, not so much. + +The game would have gone better if all of us had been allowed to read the rules. Two of the people playing had played it many times before, and three of us (me included) had never played it before. We would have benefited from having more things explained. But that is not a failing of the game, so much as a failing of the people we were playing with... + +That said, my husband and I didn't do too poorly. We were playing the "tag the flag" gametype where we had to go from one flag to another, in order from one to three, and the first bot to reach three would win. Everyone in the game at least made it to the second flag. Some of us got almost to three. And again, would have been better if we had known more of the rules. + +Hopefully next time (if there is a next time) will be better. +I've yet to play this game sober. I'm sure it prove more strategic if I were, but drinking just makes this game fun. Nothing quite like watching your friends twist from side to side in their chair trying to figure out just what the heck their cards are going to do. +?CULL +A good game but one best enjoyed very infrequently; you don't want the novelty to wear off. A few times a year allows you to appreciate the game; any more than that and I'm afraid it would degenerate into tedium.... +Unplayed +Most games are a blast. More players with lots of havoc are the best games. +This reminds me of a cross between the Hannah Barbara racing cartoon and the movie short circuits Johnny 5. It was the game Richard Garfield was pitching without success when he ended up having to fall back on his backup prototype a little game known as mtg. Robo Rally is about a crazy robot race through a series of modular boards with different kinds of obstacles and environmental conditions in order to be the first bot to take flags in each board in sequential order. The catch is you have to program your bots and then execute the actions in order so this leads to all kinds of crazy shenanigans. Especially when you damage other robots and start locking certain commands into their tableu. Robo rally is a good racing game.

They put in hard hours building high-speed supercars they never get to see in action. But on Saturday nights, the factory becomes a world of mad machines and dangerous schemes as these robots engage in their own epic race.It takes speed, wits, and dirty tricks to become a racing legend! Each player chooses a robot and directs its moves by playing cards. Chaos ensues as all players reveal the cards they\'ve chosen. Players face obstacles like industrial lasers, gaping pits, and moving conveyor belts -- but those can also be used to their advantage! Each player aims to make it to each of the checkpoints in numerical order. The first player to reach all of the checkpoints wins. (source: http://avalonhill.wizards.com/games/robo-rally/comingsoon)

In RoboRally players each control a different robot in a race through a dangerous factory floor. Several goals will be placed on the board and you must navigate your robot to them in a specific order. The boards can be combined in several different ways to accommodate different player counts and races can be as long or as short as player\'s desire.

In general, players will first fill all of their robot\'s "registers" with facedown movement cards. This happens simultaneously and there is a time element involved. If you don\'t act fast enough you are forced to place cards randomly to fill the rest. Then, starting with the first register, everyone reveals their card. The card with the highest number moves first. After everyone resolves their movement they reveal the next card and so on. Examples of movement cards may be to turn 90 degrees left or right, move forward 2 spaces, or move backward 1 space though there are a bigger variety than that. You can plan a perfect route, but if another robot runs into you it can push you off course. This can be disastrous since you can\'t reprogram any cards to fix it!

Robots fire lasers and factory elements resolve after each movement and robots may become damaged. If they take enough damage certain movement cards become fixed and can no longer be changed. If they take more they may be destroyed entirely. The first robot to claim all the goals in the correct order wins, though some may award points and play tournament style.

The game was reprinted by Avalon Hill (Hasbro/WotC) in 2005.

Two of the people playing had played it many times before, and three of us (me included) had never played it before. We would have benefited from having more things explained. But that is not a failing of the game, so much as a failing of the people we were playing with...\n\nThat said, my husband and I didn't do too poorly. We were playing the "tag the flag" gametype where we had to go from one flag to another, in order from one to three, and the first bot to reach three would win.

They put in hard hours building high-speed supercars they never get to see in action. But on Saturday nights, the factory becomes a world of mad machines and dangerous schemes as these robots engage in their own epic race.It takes speed, wits, and dirty tricks to become a racing legend! Each player chooses a robot and directs its moves by playing cards. Chaos ensues as all players reveal the cards they've chosen. Players face obstacles like industrial lasers, gaping pits, and moving conveyor belts -- but those can also be used to their advantage! Each player aims to make it to each of the checkpoints in numerical order. The first player to reach all of the checkpoints wins. (source: <a target='_blank' href="http://avalonhill.wizards.com/games/robo-rally/comingsoon" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener">http://avalonhill.wizards.com/games/robo-rally/comingsoon</a>)<br/><br/>In RoboRally players each control a different robot in a race through a dangerous factory floor. Several goals will be placed on the board and you must navigate your robot to them in a specific order. The boards can be combined in several different ways to accommodate different player counts and races can be as long or as short as player's desire.<br/><br/>In general, players will first fill all of their robot's &quot;registers&quot; with facedown movement cards. This happens simultaneously and there is a time element involved. If you don't act fast enough you are forced to place cards randomly to fill the rest. Then, starting with the first register, everyone reveals their card. The card with the highest number moves first. After everyone resolves their movement they reveal the next card and so on. Examples of movement cards may be to turn 90 degrees left or right, move forward 2 spaces, or move backward 1 space though there are a bigger variety than that. You can plan a perfect route, but if another robot runs into you it can push you off course. This can be disastrous since you can't reprogram any cards to fix it!<br/><br/>Robots fire lasers and factory elements resolve after each movement and robots may become damaged. If they take enough damage certain movement cards become fixed and can no longer be changed. If they take more they may be destroyed entirely. The first robot to claim all the goals in the correct order wins, though some may award points and play tournament style.<br/><br/>The game was reprinted by Avalon Hill (Hasbro/WotC) in 2005.<br/><br/>UPC 742818050029<br/><br/> + +https://cf.geekdo-images.com/eJx8hRJ6-86C2VrhECwEPA__thumb/img/J1PlqFqtN-hxuXM4eEi-ekANPP4=/fit-in/200x150/filters:strip_icc()/pic1000553.jpg +https://cf.geekdo-images.com/eJx8hRJ6-86C2VrhECwEPA__original/img/-9I8B82hDOO1n0h9urwZUdz6bqc=/0x0/filters:format(jpeg)/pic1000553.jpg + +Wizards of the Coast +1994 Origins Awards Best Fantasy or Science Fiction Boardgame Winner +1994 Origins Awards Best Graphic Presentation of a Boardgame Winner +2005 Årets Spill Best Strategy Game Nominee +999 Games +Action Queue +ADC Blackfire Entertainment +AMIGO +AMIGO German ed (1999) +Avalon Hill +Avalon Hill ed (2005) +Avalon Hill edition 2005 +Avalon Hill edition 2010 +Peter Bergting +BGTG - June 11, 2005 (Mike Mayer and Robo Rally) +BGTG 136 - 100 Great Games, part 3 (with Stephen Glenn and Mark Jackson) +Bias +Bob Carasca +Components: 12 x 12 Grids +Components: Miniatures +Components: Sand Timers +Czech edition +Dutch edition +Ep 39 Real Time +Ep 42 Illustrations with Henning Ludvigsen +Ep 47 Grey Fox Games with Josh Lebkowicz +Episode 10: Cosmic Encounter/Why We Play +Episode 19 - Programmed Action +Episode 33 - Top 50, Picks 20-11 +Phil Foglio +French edition +GameBreak Audio Episode #013 - Domo Arigato, Mister Roboto +Richard Garfield +Daniel Gelon +German edition +Grid Movement +Hasbro +I’ve Been Diced! episode 10: Gateway games +I’ve Been Diced! episode 3: Games that stood the test of time +Jennifer Lathrop +Lose a Turn +Ludology Episode 78 - Here We Are Now, Entertain Us +Maze +Miniatures +MN 0035 Racing Games +Modular Board +OBG 30: Start Your Engines +Play Factory +Polyhedron Collider Cast Episode 2 +Programmed Movement +Race +Racing +Robo Rally +Robo Rally: Master Builder +RoboRally: Armed and Dangerous +RoboRally: Crash and Burn +RoboRally: Grand Prix +RoboRally: King of the Hill +RoboRally: Radioactive +Robot Rally: Board game chaos +Scenario / Mission / Campaign Game +Science Fiction +Simultaneous Action Selection +Paul Sottosanti +Strategy Games +The Good, the Board, and the Producers Episode 168 Publisher Profiles 1 EXPRESS +Thematic Games +Theme: Robots +Theme: Sci-Fi Sports +Franz Vohwinkel +Peter Whitley +Wizards of the Coast 1st (1994) and 2nd (1995) eds +Wizards of the Coast first edition +Wizards of the Coast second edition + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +[size=12][COLOR=#009900][b]MIKE'S[/b][/COLOR][/size] +Rating after 1 play of a 2 player game. +It was fun.

Very entertaining and fun. It does require a certain type of thinking to program the actions effectively, but it's not terribly difficult and the mistakes are hilarious. Also, the bot powers really make things more tricky in interesting ways. I need to play it more to really master the strategy of the game, but I can definitely see why this a classic. I was worried it might not seem very interesting after Mechs vs. Minions, but I was mistaken, it's a very different game and quite special. +Best party game for me, there is always a lot of fun when playing in it +One of the first games I ever owned and I still love it.

Obwohl dann machts erst Spaß ;-) +Great fun, especially when players are close enough that they influence each other. Occasionally, a player can get off to a fast start (thanks to the luck factor involved) which reduces interactivity, but all of the games I've played have been fairly close at the end, so I'm not sure it's that big of a problem.

I loved my first play and can see the huge variety which is present in the multiple boards and options. I imagine AP could set in with some players and slow the game down, but with the right crowd this game is fantastic. +Move, turn, shoot... WATCH OUT!!! +2022-05-08 (rate 5): + +I was interested in the game because I like the mechanic, the theme seemed fine, and [person=14] as the designer attracted me as well. Also, I had the impression this is a well-established classic in its category. + +However, after a few games, I grew skeptical. With a little number of players, the board was too empty. With more players, the moves were too chaotic. While lack of control was an immense impression. + +In the end, I decided there are other games with the mechanics ([boardgamemechanic=2953]) that I like more and got rid of this one. +From Oktoberfest math trade oct 2007 +Wow can someone say CHAOS!! This game can be sooooo frustrating but still fun. +Fun game for the family, but be careful with the setup.. The games can run very long! +I could see this being fun in the right circumstances (ie playing with children), but the level of chaos is bound to frustrate many. +Awesome programming game. Easy to learn, the more people play, the more chaos and fun it will be. +Lovely game in many ways - actually better with more players. Fun-loving, but not terribly strategic. For a good time, it's good. For a good game it's.... feh. My variant now is to play one card at a time. Sure, it's really easy, but it removes the frustration of this game and still maintains the fun at least for me. Feels more strategic too and substantially less chaotic. Sold it. +Some people can direct their robot to the goals with no missteps or confusion. I have infinite respect for those people. My robots bump into walls and lasers, but I still love the chaos. +Brutalmente divertido xD Es una risa y es bastante rápido si juegas con la gente adecuada! jeje Mi segunda partida ganada de forma muy épica tras morir rápidamente 2 veces a principio de partida! :P +I don't know of a game I've laughed harder during than this game.

This is due to the extremely chaotic nature of the game. Your plans are most guaranteed to fail. + +But the magic of the game is in failing.

A lot of fun and quite a bit of a brain-burner when you get near the fast conveyors and twizzles. +Really enjoy RoboRally and one of the games that got me back into board gaming. Prefer playing on smaller boards to get more interaction and can find large maps just degenerate into a race for the flags with little interaction which is the most fun part of the game. +Traded away because it never hit the table. +One of the few games that gets better with more people. Only play with 4 or more. Great fun. +Can't really give it a good rating as I've only played one game. + +Interesting premise. Several programmer friends of mine love the game, and so a friend of a friend brought it out and we finally got to play it. They said that all programmers love it... but my husband wasn't too thrilled by it. Sure, you "program" your robot, but the entire game is about spacial awareness. I'm great at that... my husband, not so much. + +The game would have gone better if all of us had been allowed to read the rules. Two of the people playing had played it many times before, and three of us (me included) had never played it before. We would have benefited from having more things explained. But that is not a failing of the game, so much as a failing of the people we were playing with... + +That said, my husband and I didn't do too poorly. We were playing the "tag the flag" gametype where we had to go from one flag to another, in order from one to three, and the first bot to reach three would win. Everyone in the game at least made it to the second flag. Some of us got almost to three. And again, would have been better if we had known more of the rules. + +Hopefully next time (if there is a next time) will be better. +I've yet to play this game sober. I'm sure it prove more strategic if I were, but drinking just makes this game fun. Nothing quite like watching your friends twist from side to side in their chair trying to figure out just what the heck their cards are going to do. +?CULL +A good game but one best enjoyed very infrequently; you don't want the novelty to wear off. A few times a year allows you to appreciate the game; any more than that and I'm afraid it would degenerate into tedium.... +Unplayed +Most games are a blast. More players with lots of havoc are the best games. +This reminds me of a cross between the Hannah Barbara racing cartoon and the movie short circuits Johnny 5. It was the game Richard Garfield was pitching without success when he ended up having to fall back on his backup prototype a little game known as mtg. Robo Rally is about a crazy robot race through a series of modular boards with different kinds of obstacles and environmental conditions in order to be the first bot to take flags in each board in sequential order. The catch is you have to program your bots and then execute the actions in order so this leads to all kinds of crazy shenanigans. Especially when you damage other robots and start locking certain commands into their tableu. Robo rally is a good racing game.

Anyway, so the villagers rebuilt all the buildings in the town (including their precious outhouses), but forgot to include city walls, a river, or roads. To rectify this, players lay tiles with one of these three things onto the board, and any building caught underneath them is automatically eliminated, except for outhouses. When an outhouse would be destroyed, players take a vote on whether to place that particular section. Each player is trying to retain the most of one type of building, and once all the pieces have been placed the winner is the person with the highest valued buildings still standing.<br/><br/>Wacky, Wacky West re-make description:<br/><br/>Fans of Klaus Teuber will be interested in this remake/redesign of Drunter und Dr&uuml;ber, a 1991 Spiel des Jahres winner.<br/><br/><br/>Just south of nowhere, there's the junction of the Mayfair &amp; Rossdorf RR and the Turvy Trunk Line. Springing up from the desert like a tumbleweed lies the eccentric little town of Rossdorf. Like most western towns, Rossdorf has a Land Agent: Guy Dough, the brother of that wicked varmint Black Benny. A shrewd opportunist, Guy's done sold all the town land ('ceptin' the outhouses) four times over! Every acre in town that ain't got an outhouse on it is owned by the miners, the railroads, AND the fort captain. Just about a year ago, miners digging in the shadow of Fort Rossdorf struck the mother lode! But it wasn't gold, and it wasn't silver. No, my friend, it was just a little spring. Not any ordinary spring, though! It was a torrent of that mind-marbling drink the locals call &quot;Wacky Water!&quot; <br/><br/><br/>Now that water's done what the sun and the wind couldn't do: it's made those landholders brave enough to take matters into their own hands. Now they'll use whatever means they can to bowl over the competition and lay claim to the only fertile spots left in town! Now the only thing stoppin' 'em is the Town Charter Amendment #5, which states: &quot;no landholder may move, remove, or detonate any outhouse without a majority vote of the Town Citizens...&quot; Now one thing's for sure: something's gonna stink in Rossdorf, purty darn soon.....<br/><br/><br/>In Wacky Wacky West you and your fellow townfolk place track tiles, street tiles, and river tiles hoping to destroy your rivals' buildings. Every time someone tries to build over a precious outhouse, the town votes! You try to enlist your supporters (represented by cards) to vote with you to stop or encourage the play of certain tiles-perhaps saving some of your buildings or taking out those of your dastardly opponents.<br/><br/> + +https://cf.geekdo-images.com/Jc9Is7OyYz0NdWN_CDBi5g__thumb/img/SY3pxFgAkFbx2o7okAWQdNIpfEY=/fit-in/200x150/filters:strip_icc()/pic786075.jpg +https://cf.geekdo-images.com/Jc9Is7OyYz0NdWN_CDBi5g__original/img/XmlNNTdyuc3L-TIV2xbSda54ldw=/0x0/filters:format(jpeg)/pic786075.jpg + + +1991 Deutscher Spiele Preis Best Family/Adult Game 3rd Place +1991 Spiel des Jahres Winner +53.

Klaus Teuber ist ein genialer Spieleerfinder, aber das hier macht uns keinen Spaß. +Simple yet highly strategic game. Very quick filler but quite deep. Variant seems a bit lame. +A simple, light game that you have little control over. Basically, you are trying to divert the city growth away from your establishments which wouldn't be difficult, but you have three other people trying to cover your territory up. You make the best tactical decision you can and move on. Just okay for me, but would recommend for those who like light games and don't mind a bit of choas. +Kind of fun, sort of odd... only played once, but I found myself thinking "why even put the 5 buildings on the board.. or the 4s... or the 3s... or..." +Played this game in army for the first time with buddies and we all liked the game. +One of the oldest building games and quite good one as well. +This was a pretty massive let-down that really didn't scratch ANY itch. It sucked, because I was sure this was going to be a hoot, and while it wasn't bad, I definitely have some better stuff. + +Taken by itself, it's not a horrible game... it's just very bland. +(Drunter und Druber) bought from Mark +Everyone talks about how the Spiel des Jahres is a huge factor in the gaming industry. They say that games which attain that title are bound for greatness (at least in sales figures.) So I found it very strange that a game which won the SdJ in 1991 took almost 20 years to reach the American market. But, in general, SdJ winners have gone over very well with my family, so I knew it needed to be added to my collection ASAP. When I read the rules I had really high hopes for the game too, because of the wacky theme and one of my favorite mechanisms (hidden goals.) + +Unfortunately this game just didn't light my world on fire. It is OK, but there doesn't seem to be anything really special or unique about the game that makes me want to play it again. Perhaps with some more plays I'll understand more of the strategies, but upon the first play it seemed really difficult to have much control over what buildings get covered. The voting almost seems like a sideshow that doesn't really give the players enough power to change what others are doing. I'll try the game some more, but I'm really not expecting much. The game is just kind of meh, nothing great and nothing awful. +I'm not sure I see the Spiele des Jahres winner here. I think the western theme is boring and would rather have the German version. +German version. +D 11 +[COLOR=#006600][size=14]Owned and unplayed.[/size][/COLOR] +I really want to revisit this game sometimes.

Good to pull out with non-gamers on occasion. +One of the earliest games in the German genre I remember playing. Played it a lot an dloved it as a two player game. Since then have come to see it as a nice and simple intersting game but not so wildly thrilling or challenging. A load of luck involved basically, but a very nice threme and graphic and easy to introduce people to, with a reasonable amount of tension behind the luck elemnt. In its own way this has parallels to Ticket to Ride. +[b]-- After 1 play --[/b] + +Slightly dated, but still enjoyable. + +Interesting is that players start with random assortment of tiles, which create fun asymmetry - some will have more tiles to expand river, some will have more tiles for building walls, so they have different impact on different parts of the board. +Unfortunately, it sometimes cause you to be at mercy of your opponents, and it seems like frequently there is nothing to be done to prevent major loss of points. + +Still, there are moments when you can do some sneaky and clever moves, and secret goals of opponents are not easy to deduce. + +It is impressive, given age of this game and simple rules, that designer was able to cram it with asymmetric starting conditions, bluffing, negotiations and subtle subterfuge. +Quite good at that time. But you don't have much control in multiplayer base game. +I was really pleasantly surprised by the gameplay in this one.

But my wee brother is less keen on it, so it doesn't often make it to the table. +First play finally had of this game which is unbelieveably 20 years old. Went down really well. Nice and simple voting game with lots of options. Try to steer the walls, streets and river away from your buildings by placing tiles. Tricky but so simple and easy. 1 Play. +The card-bidding can be fun, but for such a game mechanic I would rather play "Adel Verpflichtet" at any given time.

They put in hard hours building high-speed supercars they never get to see in action. But on Saturday nights, the factory becomes a world of mad machines and dangerous schemes as these robots engage in their own epic race.It takes speed, wits, and dirty tricks to become a racing legend! Each player chooses a robot and directs its moves by playing cards. Chaos ensues as all players reveal the cards they\'ve chosen. Players face obstacles like industrial lasers, gaping pits, and moving conveyor belts -- but those can also be used to their advantage! Each player aims to make it to each of the checkpoints in numerical order. The first player to reach all of the checkpoints wins. (source: http://avalonhill.wizards.com/games/robo-rally/comingsoon)

In RoboRally players each control a different robot in a race through a dangerous factory floor. Several goals will be placed on the board and you must navigate your robot to them in a specific order. The boards can be combined in several different ways to accommodate different player counts and races can be as long or as short as player\'s desire.

In general, players will first fill all of their robot\'s "registers" with facedown movement cards. This happens simultaneously and there is a time element involved. If you don\'t act fast enough you are forced to place cards randomly to fill the rest. Then, starting with the first register, everyone reveals their card. The card with the highest number moves first. After everyone resolves their movement they reveal the next card and so on. Examples of movement cards may be to turn 90 degrees left or right, move forward 2 spaces, or move backward 1 space though there are a bigger variety than that. You can plan a perfect route, but if another robot runs into you it can push you off course. This can be disastrous since you can\'t reprogram any cards to fix it!

Robots fire lasers and factory elements resolve after each movement and robots may become damaged. If they take enough damage certain movement cards become fixed and can no longer be changed. If they take more they may be destroyed entirely. The first robot to claim all the goals in the correct order wins, though some may award points and play tournament style.

The game was reprinted by Avalon Hill (Hasbro/WotC) in 2005.

Several programmer friends of mine love the game, and so a friend of a friend brought it out and we finally got to play it. They said that all programmers love it... but my husband wasn't too thrilled by it. Sure, you "program" your robot, but the entire game is about spacial awareness. I'm great at that... my husband, not so much. \n\nThe game would have gone better if all of us had been allowed to read the rules. Two of the people playing had played it many times before, and three of us (me included) had never played it before. We would have benefited from having more things explained. But that is not a failing of the game, so much as a failing of the people we were playing with...\n\nThat said, my husband and I didn't do too poorly. We were playing the "tag the flag" gametype where we had to go from one flag to another, in order from one to three, and the first bot to reach three would win. Everyone in the game at least made it to the second flag. Some of us got almost to three. And again, would have been better if we had known more of the rules.\n\nHopefully next time (if there is a next time) will be better.' + }, + { + username: 'Advocator', + rating: 7, + comment: 'I've yet to play this game sober.

The catch is you have to program your bots and then execute the actions in order so this leads to all kinds of crazy shenanigans.

Anyway, so the villagers rebuilt all the buildings in the town (including their precious outhouses), but forgot to include city walls, a river, or roads. To rectify this, players lay tiles with one of these three things onto the board, and any building caught underneath them is automatically eliminated, except for outhouses. When an outhouse would be destroyed, players take a vote on whether to place that particular section. Each player is trying to retain the most of one type of building, and once all the pieces have been placed the winner is the person with the highest valued buildings still standing.

Wacky, Wacky West re-make description:

Fans of Klaus Teuber will be interested in this remake/redesign of Drunter und Drüber, a 1991 Spiel des Jahres winner.


Just south of nowhere, there\'s the junction of the Mayfair & Rossdorf RR and the Turvy Trunk Line. Springing up from the desert like a tumbleweed lies the eccentric little town of Rossdorf. Like most western towns, Rossdorf has a Land Agent: Guy Dough, the brother of that wicked varmint Black Benny. A shrewd opportunist, Guy\'s done sold all the town land (\'ceptin\' the outhouses) four times over! Every acre in town that ain\'t got an outhouse on it is owned by the miners, the railroads, AND the fort captain. Just about a year ago, miners digging in the shadow of Fort Rossdorf struck the mother lode! But it wasn\'t gold, and it wasn\'t silver. No, my friend, it was just a little spring. Not any ordinary spring, though! It was a torrent of that mind-marbling drink the locals call "Wacky Water!"


Now that water\'s done what the sun and the wind couldn\'t do: it\'s made those landholders brave enough to take matters into their own hands. Now they\'ll use whatever means they can to bowl over the competition and lay claim to the only fertile spots left in town! Now the only thing stoppin\' \'em is the Town Charter Amendment #5, which states: "no landholder may move, remove, or detonate any outhouse without a majority vote of the Town Citizens..." Now one thing\'s for sure: something\'s gonna stink in Rossdorf, purty darn soon.....


In Wacky Wacky West you and your fellow townfolk place track tiles, street tiles, and river tiles hoping to destroy your rivals\' buildings. Every time someone tries to build over a precious outhouse, the town votes! You try to enlist your supporters (represented by cards) to vote with you to stop or encourage the play of certain tiles-perhaps saving some of your buildings or taking out those of your dastardly opponents.

They say that games which attain that title are bound for greatness (at least in sales figures.) So I found it very strange that a game which won the SdJ in 1991 took almost 20 years to reach the American market. But, in general, SdJ winners have gone over very well with my family, so I knew it needed to be added to my collection ASAP. When I read the rules I had really high hopes for the game too, because of the wacky theme and one of my favorite mechanisms (hidden goals.)\n\nUnfortunately this game just didn't light my world on fire. It is OK, but there doesn't seem to be anything really special or unique about the game that makes me want to play it again. Perhaps with some more plays I'll understand more of the strategies, but upon the first play it seemed really difficult to have much control over what buildings get covered. The voting almost seems like a sideshow that doesn't really give the players enough power to change what others are doing. I'll try the game some more, but I'm really not expecting much.
