Sentient is set in the near future during a technological revolution of artificial intelligence. Companies compete to successfully develop and program advanced, sentient robots. Players take on the role of technology leaders who:
- develop and acquire robots,
- integrate them into their network (neural network),
- attract investors to support their company.
Sentient is a strategic game focused on dice manipulation and system optimization. Robots influence the values of dice (increasing, decreasing, or maintaining them), which determines scoring. Players choose robots from a shared pool and add them to their network. Each new card changes the previous configuration, requiring constant adaptation of strategy. The goal is to “program” the robots correctly so that the dice reach optimal values. Players also collect influence across different investment sectors for additional points, deciding between improving robots or gaining more influence.
Sentient is an elegant strategy game that, through clever dice manipulation and robot programming, delivers a deep and constantly evolving logical experience in a futuristic world of artificial intelligence. 🤖
