burncycle (Board Game)

Description

A puzzly infiltration game for 1–4 players, burncycle puts you in commandof a team of robots in the far future. Their mission: taking down evil,human-run corporations responsible for subjugating AI under their heel. Yourteam arrives at each corporate headquarters and must sneak inside, shutting downthe companies' physical operations as well as their circuitous digital networks.As you search rooms and advance to the higher floors, you'll be rewarded withnew items and abilities, but you'll also be challenged by threatening guards,fatal viruses and the architecture itself, which was built to fight off roboticintruders.

Key to this solo and cooperative experience is the idea of “creative actionsequencing.” During each round of play, all players will contend with arandomly drawn set of programming directives, which tell them in what ordertheir bots are allowed to take physical, digital and command actions. Playerscan choose to skip over directives at the cost of having an incomplete turn, orthey can disobey the directions by paying costly action dice. The best players,however, find a way to work within the “burncycle”: essentially, organizingtheir actions so that they benefit the team while staying within thedirective order.

Each of the corporate headquarters in the game use unique neoprene layouts ona larger mat, changing the geography of the game to suit your target. Each CEOalso has at their disposal a special threat meter, which will trigger newobstacles for your robots as time runs out. If you don't complete the missionquickly, you may end up leaving bots behind, the victims of immobilizing powerdrains or destructive counterhacking.

Your team wins the game if you complete your objectives on every floorwithout losing your captain or maxing out your threat level.
