Description

In Android: Netrunner - Escalation, the city of New Angeles is in chaos following the Twenty-Three Seconds incident, and players are thrown into the midst of the action. This expansion pack, designed by Richard Garfield, introduces sixty new cards that explore the aftermath of the incident, where rioting and violence have become the norm. As one of two players, you'll take on the role of either a Corp or a Runner, each with their own agenda and goals. The Corps are aggressively locking down their assets and hunting down their rivals, while the Runners are gaining new tools to uncover and reveal the truth about the Corps' activities. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, Android: Netrunner - Escalation is easy to dive into, but don't be fooled - the gameplay is complex and thrilling. Players will need to manage their actions carefully, using their action points and hand management skills to outmaneuver their opponent. The game's science fiction setting and collectible components add to the excitement, and with a playtime of just 45 minutes, you can experience the thrill of the game in no time. As the tensions escalate, players will need to use their skills and strategy to come out on top, all while navigating the dangers of meat damage, net damage, and brain damage that lurk around every corner.
