Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots (1967)

About this game

A classic action game where players control one of two robots ("Red Rocker" or "Blue Bomber") and try to be the first to punch the other robot in the chin, causing his head to pop up. Re-released in 2002 after being "out of print" for a long time.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.1/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 6 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
