Robots Ate Our Pizza is a cooperative pick-and-pass (card drafting) game. In order to succeed, players must work together without communicating plans.

Cards to include based on # of players :

In all player counts, Red, Blue, Yellow, and Purple are used

• 2 players: Include cards 1, 2, 3, 4 of each color.
• 3 or 4 players: Include cards 1 to 5 of each color.
• 5 players: Include cards 1 to 7 of each color.
• 6 players: Include cards 1 to 8 of each color.

Deal each player 5 cards.

Players pick a card from their hand to place face up in front of them, then pass the rest of their hand left, & repeat until each player has selected four cards. The last card in each hand is discarded.

Players get points for collecting sets (same color or same number) and runs (can be a mixture of colors).

The four cards in front of each player are scored as follows:

• Pairs are worth 2 (a pair can be either two of the same color OR two of the same number)
• Triples are worth 5 (three of the same color OR three of the same number)
• Quads are worth 12 (four of the same color OR four of the same number)
• Runs of 3 are worth 2 (can be same color or different colors or mix of same and different)
• Runs of 4 are worth 4 (can be same color or different colors or mix of same and different)

A game consists of four rounds with different goals:

1. Round 1: The players goal is to get the highest total score (sum of individual scores).
2. Round 2: The players goal is to get the lowest total score.
3. 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.
4. 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:
