In VOLT, each player takes on the role of an operator controlling a robot to challenge others in the combat arena. By programming three steps ahead, players try to anticipate the moves of other robots, aiming to destroy them or maintain control of the victory point spaces inside the arena.

VOLT includes an easy-to-begin training guide but still leaves experienced players with plenty of different modules to make their robot battles even more exciting and merciless. Plan your next steps ahead by quickly grabbing a starting number in order for your robot to run or shoot at just the right moment later on. Push the other robots into pits or shoot them away with your lasers to gain victory points. Sounds simple – it is simple, well, at least the rules. But destroying the others without taking damage yourself is quite the hefty challenge. Fortunately, destroyed robots don’t have to wait long for their next foray into the ring. They reboot in the next round.

VOLT is a completely revised and extended edition of Emerson Matsuuchi‘s game VOLT: Robot Battle Arena.

Thanks to its very accessible training rules, its uncertainty factor, and the tactical possibilities of the advanced rules, VOLT offers excitement and challenge for both casual and hardcore gamers alike.

VOLT also includes outstanding AI rules for a game with 2-3 players and a Championship mode, as well.

VOLT is designed as a game-in-the-box, in which the game boards are inserted into the inlay, and thus form a 3D combat arena together with the arena posts. The game includes detailed robot miniatures, semi-transparent programming dice, a deck of cards, and many more stunningly designed components.

And the most important thing at the end: VOLT is a lot of fun!
