Rivets (board game)

Rivets is a 1977 board wargame published by Metagaming Concepts.

Gameplay

Rivets is a two-player game of robotic conflict set sometime after the obliteration of the human race.[1]

Reception

David Ritchie reviewed Rivets in Ares Magazine #1, rating it a 3 out of 9.[1] Ritchie commented that "If it all sounds slightly silly ... it is. This one is simple, and should be played by players with the average intelligence of an electric can opener. An average game lasts three-quarters of an hour."[1]

gollark: Would you say Macron is more or less likely than the total destruction of the Earth?
gollark: Essentially, a Macron will be received from the future and verified. If it is a valid Macron it will be sent back in time. Otherwise, it will not. The only self consistent outcome is that either Macron occurs or a ridiculous failure mode does.
gollark: Okay, maybe making it the traditional way is doomed. If I can come up with a way to verify if a given Macron is Macron, I can use the GTech™ atemporal communication network as an "outcome pump" by configuring things such that the only self consistent outcome is Macron being produced.
gollark: <@319753218592866315> Consider Macron production?
gollark: UTTER bifunctor.
