About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to dive even deeper into the underbelly of Android: Netrunner with "Fear and Loathing," the fifth Data Pack in the "Spin Cycle." This expansion packs a punch with 60 new cards, featuring three copies of each of 20 never-before-seen cards, all ready to supercharge your decks and add that extra dash of chaos and strategy we love. We know the Netrunner world is full of stark contrasts: on one side, the colossal megacorporations with their game-changing technological advancements, and on the other, the folks living in the shadows, struggling to survive amidst precarious conditions. "Fear and Loathing" captures this duality like no other. On one hand, you have entities like GRNDL, a Weyland Consortium subsidiary, representing relentless corporate power. On the other, the downtrodden masses, filled with fear and desperation. But the expansion doesn't stop there! It also introduces vibrant characters, like the investigative reporter Tallie Perrault, who, much like the game's Runners, refuse to conform and fight for action and truth. With new cards exploring mechanics like Action Points, Hand Management, and Variable Player Powers, this expansion promises to refresh your games and challenge your tactics. It's the kind of content that makes us want to come back for more, expanding possibilities and keeping the game ever fresh and exciting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Do I need the base Android: Netrunner game to play with this expansion?
Absolutely! "Fear and Loathing" is a Data Pack that adds cards to the core game, so you need the base game to use it.
How many players can participate?
Just like the base game, this expansion is designed for two players, one playing as the Corporation and the other as the Runner.
What is the average playtime with this expansion?
Android: Netrunner games typically last around 45 minutes, and this expansion doesn't significantly change that playtime.
Are the cards random or fixed?
This is a 'Living Card Game' (LCG), so the cards come in packs with fixed copies of 20 different cards. You know exactly what you're getting.
Do I need to know English to play?
Yes, most of the cards and rules for Android: Netrunner, including this expansion, are in English. It's a game with high language dependency.
Does this expansion significantly change the game's complexity?
It adds more tactical and strategic options, which can increase the perceived depth, but the core rules remain the same. It's more about expanding what you already know.
