About the game
Get ready to dive into Night City (or something very similar) with Ozob: A Cyberpunk Board Game! Here, you and your friends take on the roles of hackers, mercenaries, post-humans, and other rebels, united to face the suffocating dominance of megacorporations. The game throws you into varied missions, with difficulty levels ranging from 'easy peasy' to 'help me!', and you can choose between playing standalone scenarios or embarking on an epic campaign. The stakes are high: corporate security, corrupt police officers, and killer robots will be in your way. And the golden rule is: trust your companions, because in this dystopian future, the entire system is against you. Each character is unique, with their own deck of cards, game-changing special abilities, exclusive starting items, and a personalized health bar. Each turn, players take turns, pushing their luck to reveal their stat cards and then performing three actions. You can move strategically, make a test to overcome a challenge, or go on the offensive against enemies. After your round, an event is drawn from the deck, and the board can change unexpectedly. Then, it's the enemies' turn to attack, and the round ends. The game is divided into ten scenarios, each with its own event deck and a specific win condition. But beware: if one of your characters falls, the mission fails for everyone. It's all or nothing, folks!
