It was released by Wizards of the Coast. Cards aren&#8217;t too difficult to find if you check auction sites (just a bit pricey).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The game was released again as Android: NetRunner by Fantasy Flight Games in 2012 (through 2018). It was basically the same game with a few tweaks. As the game continued to see newer expansions, new game play elements were added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What it&#8217;s about:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Netrunner is simply a game of theft, protection, and vengeance. It takes place in the not too distant future. One side plays the runner, a person who runs the &#8216;net&#8217; looking to steal from the other side, the corporation. The corporation&#8217;s goal in the game is to protect itself from the thieving runner and advance it&#8217;s own agendas. <strong>Who ever scores 7 agenda points wins.<\/strong> It&#8217;s that simple&#8230;.. or is it. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are over 400 cards at the disposal of both sides and are designed to help your cause and hurt your opponent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What it means to us:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chris introduced me to the game somewhere around 2001 or 2002. We also played some Magic The Gathering but I found NetRunner way more engaging with it&#8217;s asymmetrical play and cool theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We played it alot&#8230; I mean a lot. I started keeping some logs (as you can browse below) and I bought lots of cards from eBay. I favored playing pre-made starter decks since they work so well against each other. We also built a lot of fun, custom decks to play with as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We did play the re-release in 2012 as well but didn&#8217;t take to it as well. It was fine, we were just used to our old friend and there was no need to play the new one.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Our games:<\/strong> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Below is a log of most of the games I have played with Chris, James, and Loren. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a href=\"http:\/\/dragonoftheblackpool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/netrunner.txt\">Check out our old game log&#8230;<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/dragonoftheblackpool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/netrunner.txt\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download>Download<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NetRunner is a customizable card game released in 1996 (through 1999).
