GravTron Joust

What is GravTron Joust?

In a distant future, where the art of piloting flying robots has become a coveted skill, the Pilot Guilds of the Milky Way Galaxy gather to showcase their might in the ultimate arena - the GravTron Joust!

As the probability engines of their mighty machines roar to life, the crowd erupts in excitement as the pilots engage in intense aerial battles, maneuvering through a treacherous battle of wits, strategy, and raw skill. The stakes are high, with only the most daring and lucky pilots earning the title of champion and the glory that comes with it. Do you have what it takes, to master the GravTrons’ probability engine and lead your guild to victory?

GravTron Joust is a printable two or four player boardgame. In GravTron Joust, Pilot Guilds battle against each other for the title of Champion. Each guild pits four of their best pilots against four of the opposing team.

The goal for the players is to use the power of the GravTrons’ probability engines to push their opponents out of bounds and to destroy their GravTron. However, victorious pilots cannot rest on their laurels – because if their fellow pilots do not perform, they might be recalled for a final showdown.
