How It Plays
Action Points
You get a limited number of action points each turn and choose how to spend them — prioritizing is everything.
Hand Management
You have a hand of cards and deciding which to play, save, or discard is the core puzzle.
Secret Unit Deployment
You place your units face-down so opponents don't know what you've got — the reveal is always exciting.
Variable Player Powers
Each player has unique abilities that make their experience different — finding the best way to use yours is half the fun.
About This Game
Game description from the publisher: In Android: Netrunner - What Lies Ahead, the first Data Pack in the "Genesis Cycle", its sixty cards (three copies each of twenty different cards) expand the base game, adding muscle and theme to each of the Core Set's seven different factions. The Corps each receive a new agenda and flavorful piece of ice while the Runners launch into the ongoing cyberstruggles with new icebreakers and support cards. Additionally, the Anarch and Haas-Bioroid factions each pursue new interests with a new identity card, and the new Anarch identity – Whizzard – provides Anarch players a whole depth of new strategies based around trashing the cards they access.
