About this board game

Tiny Epic Mechs is a 1–4-player arena battle game with an approximately 60-minute play time, set in the year 3030. Players become skilled Mech pilots competing in a six-round, free-for-all spectacle of movement, equipment, combat, and area control.

Each round, choose and program four actions from eight available options. Resolve them one at a time around the table, moving through the arena while collecting resources, purchasing weapons, deploying high-scoring defensive turrets, and planting explosive land mines with hidden values.

  • Power up into your personal Power Armor.
  • Compete for the single coveted Mech Suit.
  • Use weapons, turrets, and land mines to score points.
  • Earn victory points through damage, area control, and Mech control.

When players cross paths, combat begins. Fighters exchange fire until one pilot runs out of ammunition and retreats, or is defeated and forced to reset. Each weapon can be used only once per fight, so building a larger arsenal can help you stay in the battle longer.

Weapons belong to three categories, with each type countering another. Time your attacks carefully to counter an opponent, unleash a stronger strike, and gain an advantage during the fight. Dealing heavy damage also impresses the audience and earns valuable points.

Victory points are awarded every other round for area control and for controlling the Mech. At the end of the game, players also score points for each weapon they own. With its molded power armor, ITEMeeples, and a Mech Suit that an ITEMeeple can enter, Tiny Epic Mechs turns a futuristic sports spectacle into a compact battle for the arena.
