Beschreibung
SCRAP is a sci-fi game for 2-4 players. It features six highly asymmetric factions, a unique programming action system, area majority, hand management, and a thematic, luckless combat system.
You play an Intelligence: a Bot collective that has just become sentient due to an event known as The Singularity. This event caused Celestium to flow all throughout the universe, sparking all kinds of mysterious changes to all it washed over. For Bots, this meant the development of cognition...and a hunger to learn more. Load your Functions, prepare your Ship, and fly out to planet Seratus to discover the secrets of The Singularity!
OVERVIEW
SCRAP is an asymmetric 3X (Expand, Exploit, Exterminate) style game driven by a unique mix of action programming and hand management. Your Bots seek to learn all about "The Singularity". Be the first to collect 50 Data, and you'll be the first to discover the secrets behind the event that changed the universe forever!
GAME MECHANICS:
Action Queue Programming: You'll plan your moves in advance by placing "Functions" into a queue. Each turn, you'll resolve the Function at the front of your queue and place a new Function at the back of it.
Hand Building: Throughout the game, you'll acquire new Functions to increase your options when programming. Each card has two major purposes; one, to serve as a unique option for your Bots (no two action cards are the same), and also as fuel for other powers; whenever you reveal a Function on your turn, you can discard a Function of a matching colour to gain powerful bonus effects!
Hand Management: Your Functions will need time to refresh in between uses, and you must plan a Reboot turn in advance (even Robots need a break!). Spend too many cards too quickly and you'll find yourself rebooting much more frequently.
Hidden Bidding Combat: Assign your Bots orders in a unique and thematic combat system with no dice or cards; YOU choose what your Bots will do. Probe your opponent to gain additional data or weapons for the future, snipe their Bots before they can strike, brace for impact, and then get ready to brawl! Plus, get data whenever you destroy something!
Asymmetric Factions: Play as one of six unique "Intelligences" (factions) featuring a unique hand of functions (5 cores similar to other players and one wholly unique ability) and unique upgrades. Crush the competition with Vulkanos, study your enemies as Cerebrum, or manipulate the space-time continuum with Tachyon.
