Re: New Game Criticism

I generally like the game. It's the best since 2007.

I like how it keeps the familiarity with a game such as soccer. It also gives rookie teams or teams without much machining ability to perform very well.

Some of the rules need some specification. One that stands out is G29. Not descriptive, and seems really harsh if a robot becomes disabled (such as flipped) on the opposing side.

I do like the bonus. It adds pressure to all teams to think of certain ways to grab one another and how to create a strong enough connection to withstand the weight of multiple robots. The bonus can be worth anything from 2 to 8 points from my understanding (2 points for just one robot, 8 points for one robot (2pts), then 2 robots attached to the one hanging (6pts). It adds a lot of points if the teams can work together.

One last thought. I really do like the ramps though. Just a personal favor.
