Starting the Game
Each player starts with 5 Fight Cards of the same color and 4 Fight Dice.
Place all of your Fight Cards with the robots shown below facing up. Shuffle them so you don't know which card is where.

How to Play
On each turn, one player will flip the Match Coin into the air. Whichever side of the coin shows when it lands determines what players need to roll on their dice to win that round.
If this side shows: [Picture: Match Coin side showing a concentric-ring target.] Both players roll and re-roll all of their dice at the same time until all of their own dice are all the SAME color. It doesn't matter which color you choose, they just need to all be the SAME color.
If this side shows: [Picture: Match Coin side showing two crossed robot fists.] Both players roll and re-roll all of their dice at the same time until all of their own dice are all the SAME icon. It doesn't matter which icon you choose, they just all need to be the SAME icon.
Note: as soon as the coin is flipped, you can start rolling your dice.
As soon as you match all your dice, grab the Match Coin! If you are first, you've won this round. The player who DIDN'T get the coin has to turn over ONE Fight Card. Was it a Hit or a Miss?
[Picture: Fight Card faces. HIT shows a robot struck by a punch. MISS shows a robot that was not hit. Three further pictures show Fight Cards in the hit state.]
Now the other player flips the Match Coin and play continues.
The first player to show 3 HITS on their Fight Cards is KNOCKED OUT and loses!

Down for the Count
There is a way to be able to turn one of your Fights Cards back over:
NO MATTER WHAT THE MATCH COIN SHOWS, if you roll all of this icon [Picture: grey square icon with a cross, the Fight Dice icon for the rolled face.] and grab the Match Coin, you may turn one Fight Card back over to the single robot side. (Shuffle your cards again so you don't know which card is which.)
Note: if you rolled all [grey square icon as above] when the Match Coin also showed icons, your opponent also has to turn a Fight Card to the punch side.
