Board Game Geek Avg Player Rating: 9.00. This game is suitable for 1 to 4 players and was published in 2022. It's the Retail Edition of the burncycle Deluxe Play Mat, a board game accessory by Chip Theory Games. It comes with a neoprene play mat, but you'll need the burncycle core game (sold separately) to play. The burncycle Deluxe Playmat is a must - have. This 35.75 x 44 - inch double - sided mat has spots for your corporation mat, cards, chips, and tokens, making game setup super easy. The other side features a clean, artistic graphic that can be used with any other game. Burncycle is a puzzling infiltration game. In the far future, you're in charge of a team of robots. Their goal is to take down evil, human - run corporations oppressing AI. Your team sneaks into corporate headquarters, shutting down physical and digital operations. As you explore rooms and reach higher floors, you'll get new items and abilities, but also face threats like guards, viruses, and building architecture. The key to this solo and cooperative game is 'creative action sequencing'. In each round, players deal with randomly drawn programming directives that determine bot actions. You can skip directives (incomplete turn) or disobey by paying action dice. The best players work within the 'burncycle' to benefit the team. Each corporate headquarters has a unique neoprene layout on a large mat, and each CEO has a threat meter that triggers new obstacles as time runs out. Win by completing objectives on every floor without losing your captain or maxing out the threat level. We're happy to support campaigns to bring you games like Burncycle Deluxe Play Mat.

Using the Burncycle Deluxe Play Mat is easy. First, make sure you have the burncycle core game as the play mat is an accessory. Unroll the double - sided mat and place it on a flat surface. Put your corporation mat, cards, chips, and tokens in the designated spots for a quick setup. When playing the game, follow the programming directives to move your robots. If you choose to skip or disobey, keep in mind the consequences. As time runs out, be aware of the CEO's threat meter and the new obstacles it brings. To maintain the play mat, keep it away from sharp objects to avoid tears. You can gently wipe it with a damp cloth if it gets dirty. Store it rolled up in a cool, dry place when not in use. Have fun playing and enjoy the thrilling experience of taking down those evil corporations!
