Board game - Programmers

From simple algorithms to programming

Programming is a complex matter, and you can’t just jump into it! Therefore, in "Programmers," players gradually progress from simple algorithms to more complex ones. The game is suitable for ages 6 and up, with a simplified version of the rules. For older kids and their parents, there is a main version of the game with a more complex board and exciting rules.

Writing codes for all-terrain vehicles!

Each player's turn consists of several small actions that must be planned in advance: moving forward, turning, pivoting, jumping, teleports. This teaches players to understand what operations each action consists of—just like programming! By making moves and overcoming obstacles, players try to collect as many life samples on the game board as possible. They must also watch out so that competitors do not take the spoils!

 

Engaging gameplay

To prepare for the game, you need to place hill blocks, life samples, and position all-terrain vehicles at bases in the corners of the board. Each player receives 5 command cards.

During a turn:

1. The player who just played draws cards up to five, and the turn passes to the next player.
2. For each new type of sample delivered to the laboratory, the player earns 2 points; for each subsequent sample of the same type, they earn 1 point.
3. Additionally, players can cunningly take life samples from other players and use teleportation. Details are in the rules ;)
