Robots Ate Our Pizza is a cooperative pick-and-pass (card drafting) game. In order to succeed, players must work together without communicating plans. Players pick a card from their hand to keep, pass the rest of their hand left, & repeat until each player has selected four cards. Players get points for collecting sets (same color or same number) and runs (can be a mixture of colors).
A game consists of four rounds with different goals:
- Round 1: The players goal is to get the highest total score (sum of individual scores).
- Round 2: The players goal is to get the lowest total score.
- Round 3: The players try to get the highest difference between highest player's score and lowest player's score. For example, if highest player has 11 points and lowest has 2 points, then team's score is 9.
- Round 4: The players try to get the lowest difference between highest player's score and lowest player's score. You want your scores to be as similar to each other as possible.
After each task the robots will eat some slices of pizza. The number of slices eaten depends on your group's performance on the task.
- After you've mastered the Base Game, try these variants:
- Extra Cheese: Pairs, triples, & quadruples of the same color are negative points.
- Extra Pepperoni: Runs are negative points.
- Extra Veggies: Pairs are negative points (but triples and quadruples are positive points).
