Description

In the gritty world of Shadowrun, megacorporations rule the streets and shadowrunners take on high-risk missions to survive. Encounters: Shadowrun drops you into this dark, futuristic universe, where you'll take on the role of Mr. Johnson, hiring and sending teams of runners into the shadows to collect valuable paydata. With a simple ruleset that's easy to learn, you'll be rolling dice and pushing your luck in no time, trying to outmaneuver your rivals and be the first to acquire ¥30. As you navigate the mean streets, you'll flip over location cards that can break the rules and event cards that challenge you to roll exact matches. Success earns you ¥, which you can use to buy additional runners and increase your chances of winning. But beware - if you fail, your rivals can swoop in and steal your forfeited ¥. With playtime ranging from 15 to 30 minutes, Encounters: Shadowrun is a fast-paced, thrilling experience for 1 to 8 players.
