Welcome to New Angeles, the futuristic city where megacorporations rule and runners try to subvert them! Android: Netrunner is an asymmetrical Living Card Game for two players, set in the cyberpunk universe of Android and Infiltration. Here, you take on one of two roles: the powerful megacorporation, with its vast resources and servers protected by 'ice' (security programs), or the lone runner, an audacious hacker seeking to infiltrate these systems and steal valuable information.

As the corporation, your goal is to advance and score agendas, which requires time and credits. To do this, you must fortify your servers with various types of 'ice' – barriers, code gates, and aggressive sentries – which act as your virtual eyes and ears on the network. The runner, on the other hand, needs to spend their time and credits acquiring resources, hardware, and powerful 'ice-breaker' programs to bypass corporate security measures. It's a risky job, with tight deadlines and plenty of adrenaline. When initiating a run on a corporate server, the runner risks having their programs trashed or being caught by a trace program, leaving them vulnerable to corporate countermeasures. One mistake can result in severe brain damage! Even if they manage to get past the defenses, there's no telling what a server holds: it could be something valuable or just junk the corporation was developing.

The first player to accumulate seven points wins the game, but be prepared for some losses along the way, whether it's brain damage or bad publicity. The Revised Core Set, released in 2017, combines cards from the original 2012 Core Set and later Data Pack cycles, with some updated art, offering a complete experience for those looking to dive into this cybernetic duel.
