ANDROID: NETRUNNER

Daten und bestimmung

A Living Card Game, set in the Android universe – Runner versus Corporation. Both have their own deck of cards and goals. The Corporation can spend three Clicks per turn for actions; to install server protection or to trace the runner. The Runner can spend four Clicks; for instance for a Run – a hacker attack on Corporation with different targets; when he manages to get into a server he might find something valuable or just destroy the Corporation project. If you collect seven points, you win.

The fourth deluxe expansion with a total of 165 cards concentrates on NBN on the Corporate side of the game – there are 75 NBN cards with three new corporation cards of the department type as well as 9 neutral corporation cards. On the Runner side of the game there are three new mini factions, three special Runner factions with their own individual IDs – Adam, Apex and Sunny Lebeau. 24 cards for each of those factions are geared exactly to the ID and represent unique persons and entities who cannot be assigned to the categories of Shaper, Anarch or Criminal.

Making use of cards that are not assigned to his mini factions costs a Runner influence, even for neutral cards that feature an influence value. Some cards allow that cards can be installed hidden and without cost. Reversible cards are identity cards with two sides, only the visible side of such a card is active and you must pay for the reversing of such a card. Furthermore, there are nine neutral runner cards.

Business as usual in Android Netrunner also for this deluxe expansion; the ways and means and options to play are extended and challengingly expanded with those new features.
