⚡ When robots stop working and start running
In Into the Machine, sparks fly not just from short circuits, but from the will to win. Here, the robots don't produce parts: they race inside the machine itself , pushing their limits until the final circuit to achieve anodic glory.
In this futuristic, tactical race, steel hoops and hexagonal bots compete on a shared track in a mechanical dance of movement, control, and strategy . While the robots race inside, your team outside works at the terminals, manipulating paths, switches, and speed to get you to the finish line first. It's all about timing and efficiency—just like in a real star mechanic.

⚙️ Into the Machine – La corsa più folle mai vista… dentro una macchina
Robot, strategia e corse a incastro in un circuito che cambia direzione.
Nel cuore di una fabbrica dove l’olio scorre come adrenalina e i bulloni rimbalzano come applausi, i robot non dormono: gareggiano. Ogni ingranaggio vibra, ogni pista si illumina mentre le squadre di automi si sfidano in una corsa meccanica a colpi di tattica e calcolo millimetrico.
Prima partono i Circle-Bots, poi i loro compagni Hex-Bots prendono il testimone e corrono nella direzione opposta, invertendo il senso della gara in un gioco di precisione e nervi saldi. Fuori dal tracciato, il tuo team di supporto lavora ai terminali, manipolando la corsa in tempo reale per spingere i tuoi robot alla vittoria.
Tra ingranaggi, strategie e colpi di scena, Into the Machine è una sfida veloce, brillante e sorprendentemente… umana.

🧠 Strategia e caos controllato nel nuovo titolo di Kasper Lapp
Into the Machine è un gioco da tavolo strategico e family per 2–5 giocatori, ideato da Kasper Lapp e pubblicato da Alderac Entertainment Group (AEG). I giocatori controllano due squadre di robot che corrono all’interno di un circuito meccanico condiviso: i Circle-Bots partono in avanti per raggiungere il traguardo, dove “passano il testimone” agli Hex-Bots, che corrono in direzione opposta per completare la seconda metà della gara.
Ogni giocatore utilizza anche un team di supporto esterno, capace di attivare terminali, manipolare la pista e influenzare direttamente la posizione degli altri robot. Il risultato è un mix perfetto tra corsa tattica e puzzle dinamico, dove ogni turno richiede di pianificare mosse, reagire agli altri e capire quando spingere o rallentare.
Con partite da 45–60 minuti e un design visivo brillante, è un titolo ideale per chi cerca un gioco strategico veloce, interattivo e dal gusto futuristico.
🔩 COSA RENDE INTO THE MACHINE UNICO NEL SUO GENERE
I robot si scambiano il testimone e cambiano direzione a metà gara.
La tua “pit crew” influenza la pista e i robot in gioco.
Le mosse degli avversari cambiano costantemente il ritmo della partita.
Semplice da imparare, difficile da padroneggiare.
Illustrazioni vivaci, design moderno e humor robotico.
✨ IL CUORE DEL GIOCO – “UNA GARA A DUE SENSI”
La partita si sviluppa su un circuito modulare, dove i giocatori muovono i loro Circle-Bots verso un’estremità per “taggare” i compagni Hex-Bots, che corrono in senso inverso fino al traguardo. Il ritmo è serrato: a ogni turno si decidono quali terminali attivare per spostare, ruotare o accelerare i robot in campo. Ogni scelta influenza non solo la tua corsa, ma anche quella degli altri, creando un effetto domino costante.
