Alderac Entertainment Group Into the Machine Board Game
Into the Machine is a tactical relay race board game from Alderac Entertainment Group for 2 to 5 players where teams of bots race through a modular machine track. Circle-bots race forward to tag in hex-bots that race in reverse on the same track, while a pit crew of triangle-bots and square-bots work terminals outside the machine to move and manipulate their racing teammates. Players build their engine by expanding their pit crew and combining terminal actions to be the first team across the finish line.
