Well played green. No point adding another worm - green has won, right?
Oh wait, that’s the result of random spam? Gah!
Yes, I think that’s done it. Nothing else is going to force green to reboot before the end of the register.
Congratulations to @Inkybloc!

My one regret is that I didn’t win!
Congrats to @InkyBloc! A well-deserved victory.
My last ditch effort to save us all was to randomly draw a U-Turn so that I could tractor beam InkyBloc off of the goal… but everybody got in my way regardless so it wouldn’t have worked out. And even if nobody had… it looks like Inky didn’t have the cards needed on their own anyway! What a finish!
Wow! That’s not exactly what I was expecting (I was hoping to draw a Back 1 off that first Spam) but I’m more than satisfied that the Mini Howitzer was essential to my final goal. Thanks @RogerBW for running this, it worked out great!
Thanks for the game everyone! Particularly @RogerBW for running it. Congratulations @InkyBloc, really nice use of the Mini Howitzer at the end.
Are people interested in another? I could take over running it if Roger wants to play (and if he shows me how to make the maps).
Not me, I enjoyed it, but I think Roborally needs to be played with tight timers in real-time.
Yeah it felt like I got screwed early, and then I couldn’t recover. And I think that’s fine for a really short game, but for one protracted it was a little souring
Even if it was my fault that I got screwed
Yeah, I’d be happy to share the bits, but I don’t fancy another for a little while at least.
Yeah, I agree with the general mood - it was fun but not so much that I want to rush into another, I think it didn’t quite move quickly enough for me
