BOTched! Robot Salvage 2027

BOTched is a fast-paced robot recycling card game where clever combinations, strategic salvaging, and a little sabotage can make the difference between a productive factory and a complete mechanical meltdown!

In BOTched, players take on the role of factory operators salvaging robots from four central factory piles. Collect robot cards by connecting ascending or descending numerical runs, then group matching robots to score points.

But there's a catch. Every robot you leave unconnected in your hand costs you points, and Glitching Robots, while useful as Wild cards, come with their own penalties.

Then there's the dreaded Bad Circuit.

This troublesome token moves between players throughout the game, threatening whoever is holding it when production shuts down for the day. Play your cards carefully, manage your hand, and find the perfect opportunity to pass the problem to someone else!

Each round ends when a player empties their hand, triggering scoring for everyone. Build pairs, triples, and four-of-a-kind sets to earn points while minimizing defective robots and avoiding the Bad Circuit.

With simple rules, tactical decisions, and plenty of opportunities to disrupt your opponents, BOTched delivers a lively mix of set collection, hand management, and push-your-luck tension.
