About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey folks! If you're already into Android: Netrunner, get ready, because the 'Genesis' cycle is wrapping up with the *Future Proof* pack, and the cyber-struggle is heating up like never before! This expansion brings 60 brand-new cards (20 different types, 3 copies of each), ready to supercharge your decks and add more spice to the game. Runners are coming equipped with an arsenal of new icebreakers and updated resources to breach the most fortified servers, while Corporations are fighting back with cutting-edge defenses and new strategies to hold the line. It's the kind of game that makes you ponder: what's the best defense against the future? What's truly 'future proof'?

*Future Proof* escalates the conflict, with Corporations starting to go all-out, almost as if they're ready for a sword fight, albeit in the virtual realm, of course. If you enjoy bluffing, sharp hand management, and game-changing player powers, this expansion is for you. It's the cherry on top of the 'Genesis' cycle, ending on a high note and setting the stage for new battles. The complexity remains high, demanding careful thought with every move, but the reward is a super immersive two-player experience full of twists and turns. Ready to hack the future?
