BattleBots is a board game that was published by Snarling Badger Games in 1993.

Gameplay[edit]

BattleBots is a combat game where players construct robots using statistics found in the rules, then send them to fight in an arena.[1]

The game comes packaged in a CD jewel case, and includes[2]

  • a 24-page 4.5" x 5" rule book
  • a 8.25" x 9.5" grid map of the combat arena
  • several blank character sheets
  • six cardstock foldover figures to serve as figurines
  • two very small dice

Reception[edit]

In the May 1995 edition of Dragon (Issue 217), Lester Smith initially questioned the price of the game, which "seems a bit steep considering the quality of the components." But Smith found "the rules are nicely designed and clearly written; there are no 'iffy' areas for debate during play." He thought the rules alone were worth the price of the game, and planned to "build a 3-D arena and paint up some robots for play at conventions." He concluded, "If you judge a product by the component materials, this one will probably disappoint you. But if you don’t mind forking over $11 for sheer play value, I definitely recommend this game."[2]
