Their mission: taking down evil, human-run corporations responsible for subjugating AI under their heel. Your team arrives at each corporate headquarters and must sneak inside, shutting down the companies' physical operations as well as their circuitous digital networks. As you search rooms and advance to the higher floors, you'll be rewarded with new items and abilities, but you'll also be challenged by threatening guards, fatal viruses and the architecture itself, which was built to fight off robotic intruders.\u003cbr\u003eKey to this solo and cooperative experience is the idea of “creative action sequencing.” During each round of play, all players will contend with a randomly drawn set of programming directives, which tell them in what order their bots are allowed to take physical, digital and command actions. Players can choose to skip over directives at the cost of having an incomplete turn, or they can disobey the directions by paying costly action dice. The best players, however, find a way to work within the “burncycle”: essentially, organizing their actions so that they benefit the team while staying within the directive order.\u003cbr\u003eEach of the corporate headquarters in the game use unique neoprene layouts on a larger mat, changing the geography of the game to suit your target. Each CEO also has at their disposal a special threat meter, which will trigger new obstacles for your robots as time runs out. If you don't complete the mission quickly, you may end up leaving bots behind, the victims of immobilizing power drains or destructive counterhacking.\u003cbr\u003eYour team wins the game if you complete your objectives on every floor without losing your captain or maxing out your threat level.\u003cbr\u003e[bgg id=322656]","brand":"Chip Theory Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52065754251613,"sku":"CTGBRNGAME001","price":134.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0873\/2442\/6589\/files\/burncycle.jpg?v=1771260274"},{"product_id":"cloudspire-board-game","title":"Cloudspire","description":"\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCloudspire\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e (designed by\u003cspan class=\"ng-scope\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"ng-binding\" href=\"https:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgamedesigner\/60315\/josh-j-carlson\" title=\"Josh J.

Heroes, in the meantime are controlled individually and may join the tide of battle or choose to explore points of interest in search of numerous resources.
