Sell Sheet
You control a corporation in the glorious city of Botropolis. The city leaders have commissioned the building of a fantastic Megaputer that will control and run all of Botropolis. Only one company will win the contract and the prestige of building the Megaputer. You will use your leader, your bots, and your cards in order to be that company!
Botropolis is a card driven action game, that revolves around planning and strategy. Each round players draft the actions they will use to achieve victory in one of three unique ways. Players will attend expositions and use influence to gain needed supplies, design to create programs, and recycle workers to build. The game ends after 5 rounds or when anyone reaches the end of a track. However, ending the game early does not ensure victory!
Each game players will chose a corporation, a leader for their company, and robots to control. The area of conflict is the city of Botropolis, with one public exposition known each round, and every player choosing a secret location for another exposition. However, any player can score at an exposition location, so players must be careful to avoid aiding their opponents.
Botroplis is designed for future expansions of Corporations, Leaders, and a board expansion allowing 5 & 6 players to play. Botroplis can also support solo-mode.
