Description

Overview

You are trying to pick the best prizes with your claw… but it is actually the next player who chooses (respecting your targets) the prize you get. Manage your and your opponents’ targets skillfully to steer claws into paths most beneficial to you.


Design Notes

Inspiration

The idea for the game came from Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics. In other words you have this set of laws which in principle should keep you safe and sound... but there are cracks. In this game the cracs come from your opponents making the choice for you whenever there's some ambiquity on what to do.

Status

This definitely still is a work-in-progress. With 2 players this should hold up sufficiently well, with 3 players probably... but 4 players might be pushing it too much. There's a WIP thread at BGG regarding the development process.

Notes

  • This game contains a premium upgrade called UV Coating that makes the printed components more durable.
  • This game contains laser cut components. Laser cut items will have a slight amount of soot around the edges, which can easily be wiped off; and will have a campfire smell for about a week after you open them.
