Happy Birthday, Robot! is a role-playing game published by Evil Hat Productions in 2010.

Description

Publication history

Shortly after the release of the Dresden Files books, Evil Hat published another indie project, Daniel Solis' Happy Birthday, Robot!.

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 in a very small subcategory." Wired called the game "a blur between Euro-style board games and RPGs".
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, Best Production Values, and Product of the Year.
