Any fans of the game RoborallY? Great game using programmed move mechanics. People who are adept at spatial relations will shine at this game.

I have the game but cannot locate ANY of the out of print expansions. Has anyone played the expansions? Thoughts? What was good and bad about the expansions?

Regards,
Matt

Ooooh Roborally!! Yes - this is a game everyone should get Smiley It is all time favourite in our gaming group. I have two different editions, and I am constantly scanning the market for the old expansions, but so far I have only managed to get hold of Radioactive. I have seen the others for sale plenty of times, but I am not yet desperate enough to crap out €170 for 3 more boards. One day I might, though...

Radioactive is cruel, but fun Smiley

Thanks Tobias. That is a testimonial I was looking for.

I think I will engage in a project to make a bunch of 1" tiles for constructing Custom RoboRally boards. I could likely import Italian Marble for the tiles and still be under what it would cost to buy the four expansions on eBay. Cheesy

I own all of the original base and expansions from the US print run as well as the two german base sets and the new US base set.

Armed & Dangerous and Grand Prix contain some of my favorite maps to play on. 

I wish I could find more people to play it.

I bought the 2nd edition just to get metal robots  :Smiley An added bonus is that the boards are one sided in the older editions.

We have a gaming night tonight; I am pretty sure we will play some RR Smiley

I personally eliminated the timer from the game to make it less stressful but just as if not more enjoyable

I guess our group is a tad more vicious. Everyone likes the additional stress brought about by the presence of the timer.  Evil masked  Grin

Pretty much everyone but me hate it, but we use it anyway Smiley

We play this way too seldom though. That need to change!

My brother owns what must be the basic game, although I am not that familiar. We've played it twice over the last couple of months. I can say we really enjoyed it both times. The first time was a little rough as were learning the rules and not doing everything correctly. The second event got better and we started to pick up on some strategy - although there is still quite a bit of luck involved. This is one we have to play more.

A couple of months back I set up a symmetrical map (I have two copies of RoboRally) and we played a four on four death match. No flags, just carnage. It was fun and silly.
