Stak Bots

Players command a hand of robot cards, each with a special power that affects the order of cards in their own or an opponent’s stack. On a turn, they draw from a shared pile and can add cards face up to a stack or discard cards from a stack or hand. After these actions, the top card of one stack can attack the top card of another. The cards compare power, and a surviving attacker can continue against the newly revealed card beneath. Players may perform actions in any order and repeat them during the turn, allowing them to respond to entry effects and defensive plays. Additional stacks and rule changes adjust the game’s complexity and length.
