Out of Gears

About this board game

Out of Gears is a fast, bluffing game for 2–8 players that takes about 30 minutes, set on a junk-filled Earth in the year 2185.

Humanity has discovered the “space leap” and traveled through the universe, leaving mountains of trash behind on the planet. The old cities are packed with junkyards, garbage, and refuse, while forgotten robots struggle to keep working in the hope that a new master may eventually find them.

In Out of Gears, you use your robot to challenge the others in a fight for the last remaining gears. These precious parts are essential for keeping your robot running, but collecting them is only part of the challenge. You must also protect your gears until you can install them in your internal circuits.

• Challenge rival robots for valuable gears.
• Protect the gears you have collected.
• Use strategy and bluffing to keep opponents guessing.

Other robots may try to steal your gears before you can put them where they belong. Every decision brings the risk of losing the parts you need, so watch the opposition and decide when to act.

With its unusual science-fiction setting, direct robot clashes, and focus on deception, Out of Gears offers a quick and lively contest. Keep your gears safe, outmaneuver the other robots, and prove that a good robot is one with all its gears in the right place.
