Robot X

This card game for two to five players has players assemble automatic helpers from various robot parts while managing money and special actions. Each player begins with seven cards, and three stacks of bonus cards are placed in the center of the table. On a turn, a player can auction a robot part, store a card as money, buy a bonus card, or play a special action. The highest bidder adds the part to their robot. When a player completes a robot, points are scored for the finished robots and fulfilled bonuses. Bidding and action cards allow players to interfere with their opponents’ plans.
