Android: Netrunner

Welcome to New Angeles, a neon-drenched metropolis where megacorps hoard power and lone hackers strike from the shadows. In Android: Netrunner, two players clash in a razor-edge contest of wits: one as a Corporation building a fortress of data, the other as a Runner plotting to breach it.

The Corporation races to score Agendas by advancing them through secure servers, defended by layers of Ice—barriers, logic puzzles, and aggressive sentries. Every move costs Credits, and every second counts. A single misplay could let a Runner steal their life’s work.

The Runner, meanwhile, scrambles to break ice, steal agendas, or trash the Corp’s plans. They’ll need to balance buying hardware, upgrading tools, and dodging Traces—programs that lock them out with brutal Brain Damage. Even a successful run might end in disaster if they’re caught cold by a sentry’s ambush.

First to seven points wins, but neither side walks away unscathed. The Revised Core Set (2017) bundles all-time classics from the 2012 Core Set and the Genesis and Spin Cycle expansions, with fresh art to match. It’s a game where every decision is a gamble, and the network never forgives mistakes.
