Read the full game description
Sparks is a dice-drafting engine builder about running a robot factory. Players select dice from a shared conveyor, use their colors and values to complete robot blueprints, and activate machines that generate resources or trigger linked effects. Variable animal assistants provide asymmetric powers, while open information makes each draft a contest between improving your own production line and denying a rival’s ideal part. A dedicated solo mode turns the same factory puzzle into a focused challenge.
