Pendulum

Pendulum is a very unusual table top game, where most of the action happens without turns.  Stripped of  the realtime aspects, it would be a fairly standard engine building, worker placement game, where the main action is not against other players, but to use workers effeciently to move toward victory.  

With the timers, the problem is sequencing actions "get money before you spend it" expands to make time an active element in the planning process.  You have to get money, but you can't get it now, you can get it 30 seconds from now....

Read the official rules here, and some notes on this implementation here.

Robots:  To be determined.  They at least work credibly toward victory.

The back story: 
I check in with Jamey Stegmaier from time to time, mostly about possible online versions of his games, and sometimes he surprises me.  Pendulum was one of those surprises.
