Description

A simple game based on a popular 1990s kids' cartoon series called ReBoot, which had very high-quality computer graphics and characters themed on computer jargon. Players are either sprites or viruses trying to protect or infect the CPU where they all live. The board is a circle of paths. Players roll and move, collecting 6 chips to win their goal, with Quantum shakes as hit points, magnets, Vid-windows, modems, and so on. The graphic design is strong, the rules written in a very modern style, following the computing theme very heavily for a kids' game, down to having a whole flow-chart on the back page! The board in the English-only version is thin cardboard which fan-folds into a wedge. (The English/French version uses a more traditional gameboard, and has a longer box to accommodate it.) There is a production error in the tokens in the English-only version; you'll need to add markings to some of the tokens if 5 or 6 people are playing. (The English/French version only supports up to 4 players, but the English-only version was intended to support up to 6.)
