Heylo, everyone! Since I missed the post yesterday, I figured I'd double-post today. ^.^;
Have you ever wanted to be in charge of a big corporation?
Making tons of money and forwarding your big plans for today and the future and
everything? ...No? You'd rather be the little guy fighting against that with
your hacking skills? ...oh. erm..um..Aheh...well, right, then! Either way
Netrunner is your thing!
Android Netrunner is a Living Card Game designed by Richard
Garfield set in the same world as the Cyberpunk 2020 RPG. I'll admit, I don't
really know much about the setting or anything,but I did play the LCG! It's an
asynchronous game where you play as either the MegaCorp forwarding your
Agendas, or the Netrunner hacker guy who is trying to steal those agendas and
take the MegaCorp down!
The game is a little awkward to learn and set up, as there's
so many different little things that you can do, but you only have a
limited number of actions. So you learn pretty quickly that you need to not
only strategize your deck, but also your resources! Lots of management to do
and it can get a little overwhelming at times. But you know, that's part of the
fun, I think! Yeah, it's difficult, but when you manage your resources just
right, and are able to pull off a big trap on the Runner, or push forward hard
at a server to get at those agendas, it really makes you feel awesome!
The game has a wonderful aesthetic to it as well! Every
single card is designed so that the name of the card and what it does makes
perfect sense together. It's a kind of cohesion I've really not seen in a lot
of card games at all. At least not to the level that Android Netrunner has.
Android Netrunner definitely has a sweet flavor!
I'm really looking forward to getting to play it again!
