A downloadable game

Introduction:
You and 1-3 of your friends play as Humans and Robots. Whatever you start as, you will want to become the other. Humans want stronger bodies and to live forever. Robots want to understand emotions and to know the feeling of touching grass.


The Goal of the game:
No matter if you play as a Human or a Robot, your character will consist of 3 parts:
- A Head
- A Torso
- A pair of Legs

If you are a Human you will want to exchange your Human parts for corresponding Robots parts. If you are a Robot you want to exchange your Robot parts for corresponding Human parts.

You cannot consist of more than 3 parts. You cannot have 2 of the same part (ex. 2 pair of Robot legs or 2 Human heads - even though it sounds like a lot of fun)

If you lose all parts, you are dead and can no longer play. When you are fully transformed you must head to the finish line and be the first one there to have your faction win. If you find yourself in a position where you are unable to win, we recommend attempting to make someone from your faction win instead.


How do you play?:
Approach having an even number of Humans and Robots if you can. Find out which player starts. (we recommend the player who most recently has formatted their computer)
To start with; shuffle the tiles and lay out the tiles, face up, so that the conveyor belt is filled. Put the rest of the tile pile, face down, in the tile deck spot.


How does a turn play out?:
Take the top tile from the deck and use it to push any row of tiles. You cannot choose to not insert the card in any row.

Tiles that are pushed out, go in the bottom of the tile pile.

You use your character to walk 1 step backward or forwards, where possible. 
You can choose to pick up 1 bodypart, just 1, if there is already one on your tile or do the action if there is one and if it is possible for your character.
If you gain a Human body part or a Robot body part, you can choose to exchange it with the one you have already. If you choose to exchange a body part, you leave your old one behind on the tile.
If you lose a body part, you will have to leave it behind on the tile where you lost it.
