Stak Bots

We have a new gamie in stock from a little company in Chichester which is ...


Fun, quick and sneakily strategic! The next batch of Bots is ready for the production line! Get the expansion and the original game!

Stak Bots is a fun, deceptively simple and sneakily strategic battling card game suitable for all ages. 
It can be a quick and casual filler game, or it can take up your evening with repeated battles and customisation.
You can read the instructions here, or there's a 'how to play' video at the bottom of the page.


Each turn you try to do as much damage to your opponents as possible, then leave yourself in a good defensive position for when they retaliate. 
About the game: 
Every Bot is unique - Some are destructive, some manipulate the other cards. Some are just plain quirky. They all affect the game differently.
It is novel - The game is played vertically; where cards are in the Stak are as important aswhat the cards are. 
You get full control - A fully open turn structure lets you combine and repeat actions as much as you are able to on your go.
You are always involved - Your revealed cards can trigger decisions and you can play from hand to defend yourself, even when it's not your turn.
It is quick to learn - But it takes a while to master how the Bots interact and the shifts in power that they create between players. 
It grows with you - As you get more competent you can add more Staks, more rules and more Bots. Play how you want.
There is a lot to discover - After playing thousands of games, I am still encountering new situations, combinations and tactics. 
Great multi-player game dynamics - Plead rationally with your attackers, victimise players, bear grudges and expose others' weaknesses.
You can read in more detail about the features of the game on the front page of the Stak Bots website

Number of players: 1+ players or teams. Play solo, free for all or in teams. 
Recommended age: On the box it says 11+, but we've taught kids as young as 5! The younger ones don't necessarily understand the strategies, but they love destroying each other's Bots! There is no upper age limit. 
Time to play: 5mins - 20mins per game. Once you are familiar with the game it plays very fast. The more players and Staks there are the slower it will be as the decisions get trickier! 

In the Box: 
Everything you need to play, for up to 5 players! 60 x Bot cards featuring the 16 Bots shown above. Full instructions (including game variations, glossary, guide to each Bot)

A couple of players already have copies and will be hoping to play a few games this coming Tuesday. I also have a few copies to sell at the great price of £9.99
