The next great technological revolution is here. Sentient robots for information, transportation, industry, and more — all at our fingertips. Building them is the easy part now. Programming them has proven to be more complicated. There’s a handful of companies claiming success, but only one of these tech titans will emerge as the frontrunner in this exciting new frontier.
Build the most valuable network of intelligent machines in Sentient. As a technology company competing in the next industrial revolution, each player acquires bots for transport, industry, information and other fields. The challenge is not simply choosing useful machines, but programming a neural network that satisfies their changing requirements.
Network dice sit between acquired bot cards, and placing a new card can alter the values on adjacent dice. At the end of the round, each bot is evaluated against its displayed condition, rewarding careful calculation and flexible planning. Agents and assistants are committed to the market as cards are claimed, creating a second contest for the investors associated with different bot categories.
This revised edition adds a dedicated solo mode and a new game board while retaining the original combination of dice manipulation, card drafting and area influence. Every placement can improve one part of the network while disrupting another, so players must consider the entire row rather than a single card. The company with the strongest collection of completed bots and investor support wins.
