Frequently Asked Questions
What comes in the Robot Quest Arena Base Game box?
The base game includes 4 Robot Minis, 4 Player Boards, a Game Board, and a deck of cards (battery, upgrade, and damage cards). It supports 2–4 players.
How do you set up the game?
Place the game board in the center. Each player chooses a robot mini and takes the matching player board. Shuffle the upgrade deck and place it face down. Deal each player a starting deck of 10 battery cards. Place hazard tokens and respawn points as shown in the rulebook. Keep the rulebook handy for exact hazard and respawn placement the first few games.
What are the basic rules of Robot Quest Arena?
On your turn, play cards from your hand to gain energy (battery cards) or use upgrades. Spend energy to move your robot, attack opponents, or buy new upgrades from the market. Destroyed robots respawn at the start of the next round, so no one is eliminated. The game ends after a set number of rounds, and the player with the most points wins.
How do you score points?
You earn points by damaging opponent robots (each hit scores 1 point) and by completing certain upgrade card effects. The player with the highest total at the end of the game wins. Focus on consistent damage rather than chasing one big hit, since respawning keeps everyone in the game.
Can you play with more than 4 players?
The base game is designed for 2–4 players. For larger groups, you would need an additional copy or an expansion that adds more player components.
What happens when a robot is destroyed?
Destroyed robots respawn at the start of the next round on a designated respawn point. You keep your upgrades and deck, so you re-enter the action quickly. Don't be afraid to take risks—being destroyed is only a temporary setback.
Are there any common mistakes new players make?
New players often forget to use their battery cards efficiently or overlook the value of buying upgrades early. Another common mistake is not planning movement around hazards, which can waste energy. Spend your first few turns buying at least one upgrade and learning the board layout.
