"In the far future a new sport has swept the world—Giant Mech Battles! Mile-high giants fight across entire city blocks. Rabid fans wear their favorite team’s colors and gather in virtua-bars to watch the battles. It’s the perfect time for a savvy gambler to get filthy rich. Even if you have to cheat just a little bit!" - WizKids

As much as it would be beneficial to know the outcome of each bet, players will have a chance to tweak and manipulate the result for their bet to turn in their own favour, or even up the stakes midway through!

Once five robots are still standing across the high-profile event, all bets will then be paid out to those who participated and fought dirty to climb to riches. Settling bets and placing the final cohort into a three-round battle, where the player with the most tallied points wins. The game truly seems like a free-for-all. Sometimes opponents may need to work together due to their shared bet, which can ultimately cause chaos for all involved in the arena.

There are five teams to choose from in total, with the likes of the Mid-Atlantic Cavaliers, and the Beasts of the East joining the fray; ready for some epic metal battles, taking roughly 20 minutes per game.
