About this expansion
Power Grid: The Robots is an expansion for 2–5 players that adds a robot opponent to Power Grid games, with an approximately 120-minute play time. Designed especially for two players, it also supports games with up to five human players.
The robot acts as an additional player, but its decisions are managed by the human players. With different actions and special abilities, it can become a strong opponent—or be used to act against the other players at the table.
The robot is represented by five tiles. One tile provides rules for each relevant phase of the game, while another gives the robot a special ability it uses during play. The robot does not use tiles for phase 1, Determine Player Order, or phase 5, bureaucracy.
With 30 tiles in total, including six different tiles for each phase, the expansion gives your Power Grid sessions a changing set of robot rules and abilities. This variety ensures that games can offer a different experience from one play to the next.
- Designed especially for two-player games
- Usable with up to five human players
- Includes 30 tiles: six different tiles for each phase
- Supports using more than one robot in a game
Whether you want a fresh two-player challenge or an additional force in a larger game, Power Grid: The Robots brings a new opponent and added variety to the table.
