Rebuild the robot
A complete robot needs six parts: a head, a body, a right arm, a left arm, legs and a battery. Tap each card to snap it into place.
How to play
You can learn it in two minutes. Everyone builds their own robot on the table, and everyone else tries to mess it up.
Shuffle the deck and give each player 3 cards. Stack the rest face-down to make the draw pile.
- Draw 1 cardTake the top card from the draw pile.
- Play 1 robot part, if you wantPut it on the table in front of you. Played parts stay there and become your robot.
- Play 1 action card, if you chooseAttack, defend or slow down your rivals at the end of your turn.
- Keep 3 or fewer cardsIf you have more than 3 cards in your hand, discard until you have 3.
Be the first player to build a complete robot.
- You can keep extra robot parts, action cards or your Battery in your hand as backups.
- The hand limit is 3 cards at the end of your turn.
- If the draw pile runs out and nobody has won, shuffle the discards and keep playing.
Action cards
These are where the chaos comes from. Use them to protect your robot, or to wreck someone else’s.
Laser
Blast away 1 card from another player’s robot and put it in the discard pile.
Shield
Protects your robot from 1 Laser card.
Keep one ready to block a laser.
Rust
Makes the next player skip their turn.
Oil Can
Fixes rust so you don’t have to skip your turn.
Stay slick and shake off that Rust.
Magnet
Steal 1 robot part from another player’s robot. Use it on your own robot, or keep it as one of your 3 cards.
Wild Part
Counts as any robot part you need, except the Battery. Once it’s placed, it can’t move to another spot.
Hi! I’m Juliette!
I’m 8 years old, and I’m the creator of Robot Rebuild! I came up with this game because I love playing games with my family and wanted to make one of my very own. I had so much fun coming up with the robots, the cards, and all the silly ways you can mess up someone else’s robot!
I hope you have as much fun playing Robot Rebuild as I had creating it. Thanks for playing my game!
