As Charles Dickens so eloquently put it,\u00a0\u201cI loved the game against reason, against promise, against peace, against hope, against happiness, against all discouragement that could be\u201d. Steamworks looks like it\u2019s going to be an awesome game, maybe even better than last year\u2019s Stronghold! The object of the game is to prepare an \u201cairship\u201d for flight. Robots can collect gears to install on the airship and start turning the rotors, they can collect balls, also known as fuel, to increase the pressure in the boiler for making the steam, and they can climb a rope at the end of the match to prepare for take-off.<\/p>\n
