Learn some clever construction techniques, add pieces to let it sense and respond to the environment, then set your creation loose! |
| Break | Edible slime: Make it, prod it, then devour it! |
| Afternoon | Dungeon Delvers: An entrance to one of the mysterious underground cities of a long-vanished empire has been found in a farmer's field, and you, novice archaeologists and adventurers, have been called to investigate.
