Robot Please!

The most Influential tech event is about to begin and the launch of MAI-42 is the main event. Programmers have been working on MAI for years to change the landscape of robotics for years to come. There is only one problem. MAI-42 doesn't behave as it should. It seems that some bug or virus is preventing MAI from working properly and resists following simple verbal directions. The show is about to begin, so the programmers will have to manage with simple tasks. In the game, all players play the role of MAI once and the rest of players play the role of programmers competing to get the highest score by getting MAI to perform the assigned task successfully. Role playing is a very important component of this game, as a robot you can enjoy improvising and applying your ingenuity when executing the instructions. At the same time, as a programmer you should make an effort to try to write specific and detailed instructions to the robot, understanding they can execute them in the most diverse and curious ways. Each programmer reads aloud their code, line by line, allowing MAI to run the instructions. MAI listens to the instructions and carries them out to the letter as much as possible, while actively looking for ways to "misinterpret" the commands. The game takes place over as many rounds as players. In each round, a player role plays MAI-42 and the rest of the players are programmers. A round is divided into two phases: Writing and Execution At the end of the game, the player with the most victory points wins the game. —description from the publisher
