Super Robo Jetkaiser Z!

Take the controls of the heroic Super Robo Jetkaiser Z, in this free, print and play, hybrid deck builder, enemy action selection, and boss-battling game filled with the art style, graphic design, and nostalgia for the mecha anime cartoons of the 1970's and 80's! Each turn, you will plan your tactics, build your deck by spending energy to purchase upgraded body parts and abilities, charge your parts and weapons with energy cubes generated by Jetkaiser's incredible Photovoltronic Cascade core reactor, evade and absorb increasingly powerful and varied enemy attacks and debuffs, user your reactor's incredible ability to distribute damage strategically to keep Jetkaiser alive and kicking, and play your cards wisely to unleash over-the-top attacks at the enemy beast fighter and its minions. Win the game by reducing the enemy Beast Fighter's Health to zero before your valiant Jetkaiser becomes too damaged to keep fighting. But beware -- there's always another alien beast fighter horror waiting to attack! This game took 1st place for Best Game Designed in Contest Time-frame, and 3rd place for Best Overall Game in the 2025 Solo Print and Play Design Contest. Full disclosure: the game artwork was generated using OpenAI's image generation tools. The game icons were a mix of AI-generated and icons from The Noun Project. I would like to emphasize that use of GenAI image tools is allowed under the rules of the BGG PnP Game Design Contests for game prototypes and for free, non-commercial PnP games. That's what this is: a prototype, non-commercial, free PnP game. —description from the designer
