📖 About This Game

Bid. Build. Betray. Outbid and outplay your opponents as you race to be the first one to complete your robot. Decide when to stockpile your money and when to buy robot parts, minibots, and utilities. Use powerful effects to help you claim victory or destroy your opponents as they try to do the same. Each game of Machinate creates an evolving marketplace. No card has a set price. Each new game you play changes your approach. As you learn about the card effects and auctions, you change when and how much you spend. Each player gets a fresh infusion of credits and participates in auctions every turn, keeping everyone at the table engaged. And with utility cards that can be played on any turn, you always have an opportunity to influence the game. Powerful and unique card effects let you play with different strategies every game. Each deck has a total of 100 cards, with 69 unique abilities and art across robot parts, minibots, and utilities. Unique utility and minibot cards allow you to stay in the game, even if you are running low on credits. This creates a natural balance where every player is competing right to the end. There's always a chance for a dramatic underdog victory. —description from the designer
