Chomp Bots

Strategically enhance your chances to beat your opponent by upgrading your bot, enabling additional functions, abilities, and actions. At the end of the match, the player with the most pellets is the winner -unless a bot is instantly defeated by losing all their strength, being trapped, or bumped out of the arena.

Use enabled functions to collect pellets like a 1980’s arcade game.

(A1, B1, C1, etc.)

Reveal 4 cards. For each card place a pellet of indicated color at specified coordinates. Put overlay on cards and place another pellet. Note the End of game trigger for the turn.

If the end of match is triggered by blocks being arranged as indicated, the match ends immediately and the player with the most pellets is the winner. End of match triggers:

• any line of 4 blocks (horizontal, vertical or diagonal)
• blocks arranged in a square (anywhere on board)
• blocks in each corner

You win instantly if you bump your opponent’s bot out of the arena, trap them or deplete their strength to zero.

Bump If bot is stronger than opponent’s bot it can bump the opponent bot in the direction of travel. If a bot is bumped out of the arena, the player is instantly defeated.

Trap If player’s bot is trapped and unable to perform a continuous move on their turn, they are defeated. A player may be able to escape the trap by enabling a new direction function, performing an action or adding a module on their turn allowing them to perform a continuous move.

Deplete Strength If a bot’s strength is depleted, the player is instantly defeated. Strength is reduced by using the slice module.
