About the game

What you do in a play session

The Spaces Between arrives as the second Data Pack of the Lunar Cycle for Android: Netrunner, adding 60 fixed cards – three copies of each of twenty new designs. Every new card is crafted to slot into existing decks, giving both the Hacker and the Corporation fresh strategic options. The expansion’s headline feature is the introduction of “currents”: events or operations that don’t vanish the moment they hit the discard pile but linger in the data streams, creating persistent effects that can echo into later turns. This digital‑echo concept forces players to rethink when and how to play certain cards, knowing their impact may resurface later. It also preserves Netrunner’s core feel – limited action points, tight hand management, secret unit deployment – while adding variable phase order, letting some cards reshuffle the turn sequence. The result is an even tighter duel where bluffing about what’s “between” discard and permanence becomes a tactical layer. If you already love the base game, crave deeper interactions, and enjoy probing new ways to pressure your opponent, The Spaces Between delivers exactly that without overcomplicating the rules. The art reinforces the lunar cyber‑punk vibe, and the print quality matches Fantasy Flight’s standards, ensuring durability. In short, it’s an upgrade that expands Netrunner’s universe and gives the duel a low‑gravity, lingering‑echo flavor that’s still being decoded.
