	Description Edit \| History

RAMbots is an Icehouse game for two to four players. Each player controls a single RAMbot, and will lay out strings of instructions which tell the RAMbot how to move and shoot beams of colored energy. The first player to tag four goals in a specified order wins the game.

RAMbots requires:

a set of Icehouse pieces
a chessboard
some kind of shield or screen for each player big enough to hide a handful of Icehouse pieces behind.

RAMbots Game aid and player screens (v1)

Gaming aids and 4 double sided player screens to set up your programs behind them. Player screens show the player color written on the front, precedence order and beam color functions on the inside to ease programming. The screens are designed to be folded (and maybe glued) after printing. Many thanks to [username=russ] for proofreading and huge improvement of the text. Disclaimer: Any errors and typos left now were intentionally added by me after his proofreading to keep norwegian readers happy.

RAMbots player screen

This player screen will hide your program in the programming phase, and it also serves as a handy reference sheet. One page gives you two player screens.
