Many games are EPIC and take place in a massive world, we wanted to make a game that takes place in a petri dish with minuscule armies battling for dominance. An exciting tabletop strategy game for 2 to 8 players, where each competes to form the longest chain of NanoBots. There are 8 types of NanoBots, each with its own special ability. Players take turns playing their NanoBots and cards to build their chain or disrupt others’ until someone runs out of NanoBots.
