Iello games will distribute the Flatlined Games board game Twin Tin Bots in the United States, due for distribution imminently.
Designed by Philippe Keyaerts (Small World, Vinci, Evo), Twin Tin Bots is a robot programming game where players control two harvester bots trying to harvest the most crystals and bring them back to base. Since the bots can only process one order per player turn (forward, turn, harvest, unload), players need to plan several moves ahead using their programming boards, and there’s always the other players’ robots to contend with--as they may use their robots to push other robots over or steal crystal. There are simplified rules for playing with younger children, as well as variant and optional rules to change up the play.
The box contains a dual-sided game board, a dual-sided crystal track, 18 transparent plastic crystals, 6 plastic bases, 12 plastic robots, 6 programming boards, 6 x 6 order tiles for each player, 3 numbered countdown counters, 1 'active base' token (for advance variant), 3 rock tokens, 3 blob tokens, 6 teleport tokens, 3 mud tokens and a rulebook.
The game is for 2-6 players, ages 13 and up, and plays in 50 minutes. MSRP was not announced.
