Publication history

Shortly after the release of the Dresden Files books, Evil Hat published another indie project, Daniel Solis' Happy Birthday, Robot! (2010).[1]:426

Reception

Shannon Appelcline states that the Happy Birthday, Robot! "short storytelling game could easily have been part of Hogshead Publishing's 'New Style'. It is also one of the few RPGs specifically aimed at kids, joining Firefly Games' Faery's Tale (2006) in a very small subcategory."[1]:426 Wired called the game "a blur between Euro-style board games and RPGs".[2]

In 2011, Happy Birthday, Robot! was nominated for the ENnie for Best Game, but lost to another Evil Hat game, The Dresden Files Roleplaying Game; Happy Birthday, Robot! was also nominated for Best New Game (published for the first time ever), Best Production Values, and Product of the Year.[3]

gollark: I think quite a lot of school is utterly awful at actually conveying useful knowledge and skills.
gollark: Or possibly deterministic words?
gollark: Why are you quoting random words?
gollark: Getting up early is annoying especially with my 45-minute commute.
