Board Game Arena

We are proud and happy to announce that Twin Tin Bots, a game from Philippe Keyaerts (Flatlined Games), is now available on Board Game Arena.

Twin Tin Bots is an action programming game where you control 2 robots in order to collect crystals and bring them back to your base. You have 3 programming slots per robot, and you can place an order tile on each of them. Sounds easy? Well, this is not, because here is the main rule: at your turn, you can do only ONE change on your programming. Yes, only ONE among the following: place a new order, remove an order, switch 2 orders, move an order, or reset a robot (remove all orders).

Of course, one change is not enough to optimize the itinerary of your robots on the board ... and this is where the game become interesting. To win at Twin Tin Bots, you must most of the time forget about the shortest itineraries and choose the itineraries that requests the minimum number of order changes. In a word: anticipate, anticipate, and think a lot. This is why this game is so different than games like RoboRally.

Once you play a first game, you can then add some nice elements on the board: terrible rocks that are blocking robots, stupid Blobs that are always-at-the-worst-place (don't hesitate to Zap! them), disgusting mud that slow you down, and tricky teleporters that drives you crazy

Twin Tin Bots can be played from 2 to 6 players: if you want more interactions, don't hesitate to get more opponents.

Board Game Arena would like to send a big THANK YOU to Flatlined Games for this adaptation, and to Philippe Keyaerts who you may have at your table here on BGA

Congrats on another release! Love this game on the tabletop (KS'd it), now can play it on the web as well.

谁翻译的中文啊，根本不知所云。

Please get rid of MS Translator. The German translations are just incomprehensible gibberish.

The translation-HQ is a fine thing. Why don't you put the blog-posts there, too?

Hi yzemaze,

You can switch off translation from your preference page if you prefer.

Cheers,

Thanks, nice to know. I'm using EN anyway.

I'm just a bit bothered about ironic/snarky remarks by German sites reporting the news of Twin Tin Bots on BGA (Spielbox and trictrac DE e. g.). A crude translation just isn't appealing, stories about it are neither. BGA is a great site, but the use of MS Translator leaves a somewhat amateurish impression which is a total disservice to BGA.

Well I think the opposite than you said sourisdudedessert is better.In other words the english text must appear at first and if you want you will be able to see it "translated" in your language by clicking on the up right. About this amateurish impression yes some friends said the same. Hope I have helped.

Queria to see the new game parecia interesting but I cannot see it he says that it does not exist and not that to do

GOOD!
