"Plays: 1." Yeah, maybe since I was on BGG. Scores of times previously. A fantastic brain-burner. Is there a lot of player interaction? Of course not. But who says you always have to play games like that? I'm not always in the mood for something like RR, but when I am, I'm glad it's there. I have both boxes, a silver robot...the works.

Perhaps more a brain test than a game. But if it is a game, then it is a terrific one. The game element is to solve the puzzle quicker than your opponents, which requires a more than good thinking in spite of the simplicity of its gamesystem. Not everybody can play this game well, so it won't appeal to everyone.

Very interesting multi-player puzzle game. The puzzle changes every turn. Whoever solves it first (or best) wins the point. Very cool game but my feeling is that after a few plays, the game would get old fast.

Ricochet Robots is less of a game and more of a puzzle, which explains why there’s such an odd number of solutions possible. There’s a four-piece modular board that forms a large room with walls spread around the board. There are also color-coded targets on boards. Placed on top of the surface are four robots. The idea for each turn/puzzle is to get the like-colored robot to a randomly selected target. The trick is that once a robot starts moving, it will continue to move until a wall or another robot stops it. Therefore, players are seeking a sequence of moves for the robots that will enable them to move the required robot to the target in the fewest moves.
