Signal and Noise

Description

You’re in charge of controlling bots deployed to a remote planet. Your goal is to guide each of them onto a different base, and lock them there. To achieve this, you send operational signals to a queue, from which the bots will take orders, but due to communication issues, some noise also arrives with it. Place your new signals in the right order to complete your objective before time runs out. Signal and Noise is a hand management, programmed movement solitaire game, where you hold a hand of actions, and add them to a queue of orders from where the deployed bots will act. Each turn a new bot is deployed, giving you more options to apply each movement, but also potentially getting in each other's way. [GAMEPLAY] Each turn, you will: 1. Insert 2 cards from your hand on any position of the queue. 2. Resolve the first 2 cards from the queue, which can affect any bot on the board to move it or rotate it. 3. Reveal the 2 noise cards and insert them in the queue. 4. Resolve the first 2 cards from the queue in the same way. 5. Deploy a new bot (if any are left available). 6. Deal 2 noise cards, and draw 2 cards to your hand. Can you park all the bots on a base before your signal dies out? —description from the designer
