Micro Robots

Players race to plan a path for a transparent robot on a 6x6 grid assembled from four double-sided boards. Each space shows a number (1–6) and a color (six colors), and the robot moves orthogonally to any space that shares its current number or color. Each round two dice set a target space; everyone simultaneously works out a route and the first to call a move count must demonstrate it. Correct solutions earn victory tokens; incorrect claims cost a token to the player with the fewest. The previous target becomes the new start, and play continues until a player reaches five tokens or the token pool is exhausted. An optional expert rule requires an intermediate dice-determined stop before the final destination.
