	Remake of the cult classic [[Netrunner]] done by [[Fantasy Flight Games]] in their own post-cyberpunk Android Universe instead of the Gibson-ripoff that is [[Cyberpunk 2020]]. Just like the failed CCG, Android: Netrunner is an asymmetrical game, in which both players during the game match play different roles and have different mechanics: One is subversive hacker knows as a Runner who tries to steal the Corps' shit and trash their assets, where the other player plays the role of the mean old Corporation, who attempts to protect their servers to advance their agenda - or just murder anyone who dares to oppose them.

Each point of Bad Pub gives the runner a credit for the duration of the run, for every run. Weyland tends to garner the most Bad Pub due to their cards having a propensity to inflict it on themselves for short-term gain - as befitting their ruthless theming. Some runners and their cards can also inflict Bad Pub but this method is less common.
	:'''Traces'''		:'''Traces''' is one of NBN's signature mechanics but over time has seen some introduction to the other corp factions. Traces are NBN's main way of both tagging the runner as well as also capitalising on tagged runners in more inventive ways. Whenever a trace is initiated the corp may spend a number of credits to boost the strength of the trace attempt beyond the value printed on the trace keyword. If the Runner does not spend enough credits to match or exceed the final trace strength then the trace succeeds and its effects are applied, usually giving the Runner a tag as punishment. Traces are brutal to run against as they often have decent base strengths that will tax the Runner dearly to avoid being tagged or worse, but a skilled Runner with good Link values can easily turn the tables on the corp and force the corp to pay for traces themselves in order for their rezzed ICE to not be completely useless.
	:'''Psi games''' are one of the big new mechanics that FFG has introduced. If you played Magic during Lorwyn and remember clash, this is similar but not garbage. Psi games are triggered by the Corp (Psi is one of Jinteki's signature mechanics) and take the form "You and the Runner secretly spend 0, 1, or 2 credits. Reveal spent credits. If you and the Runner spent a different number of credits, <X>" where X is [[Anal circumference\|some form of horrible assrape.]] In a vacuum the Corp has a 66% chance of winning, but since the credits spent are gone either way and you can't spend more creds than you have the actual chance can swing wildly depending on the players' strategies and the current board state.		:'''Psi games''' are one of the big new mechanics that FFG has introduced.

			As awesome as the game was, FFG's license to publish the game ran out in 2018, with their last expansion coming out that same year. WoTC seems to be holding onto the license for the time being. In the meantime, a dedicated fanbase called [http://nisei.net/\| Nextrunner International Support & Expansion Initiative or NISEI] has been making their own fan expansions and rules to keep the game alive.

	'''Runner'''		'''Runner'''

	:Identity		:'''Identity''': the card on the table that says who the runner is and what their special "thing" is. This card sees no use in actual play, but is quite important when deckbuilding, as it tells you the runner's faction, ''minimum'' deck size, base link for traces and influence (a "resource" used in deck construction to import cards from other factions). As IDs inform how the runner is likely to play, corp players may play differently depending on the ID they face. Runner abilities vary widely, and the more powerful abilities tend to be weakened in various ways, such as high deck size or low influence.
	:Programs - :~~Install a program~~: When the Runner installs a program, the Runner may check first if there ~~is MU~~ available for it ~~(Starts~~ at 4 MU, and every program has a MU requisite). The Runner may also trash any number of programs to the heap before installing the new program.
	:Hardware		:'''Programs''': The primary tools of the runner's trade, "icebreaker" programs are mainly how the runner gets past corp defences. There are also programs with other abilities - programs not used to break through ice are generally called "utility programs" and are generally very specific to a certain playstyle or plan.
	:Resources		:*Programs, like all runner cards, are installed face-up, paying the install cost indicated at the top left
			:*When the Runner installs a program, the Runner may check first if there are Memory Units available for it - the runner starts at 4 MU, and every program has an MU requisite,though 0 MU programs exist and there is hardware available to increase MU. The MU needed is indicated by the smaller number at the top left (in the silver chip).
			:*The Runner may also trash any number of programs to the heap before installing the new program (but only when installing).
			:*Should the runner lose MU for any reason (say a piece of hardware got trashed) then they must trash programs until their installed programs do not use up more MU than they have
			:*Many programs have a cost to use their abilities, written " '''Cost''': Ability" - the cost is usually money (but may be clicks or other things)
			:*

			:'''Hardware''': Runner's physical stuff, hardware does a huge range of shit, from simply providing more MU to giving the runner protection. The most important and notable type of hardware is the runner's console, a single unique piece of hardware that forms the core of a runner's rig. Most of these are thematically and mechanically linked to a given runner, synergising with their ability in some way (though occasionally you'll find a console that's better with someone who isn't the "owner" of it thematically).
			:* There is no limit to how much hardware the runner can install
			:* Only one console can be installed at any one time

			:'''Resources''': Places, people and things that the runner uses and works with to do their thing, resources are pretty diverse, ranging from things like a mob boss, to a safehouse, to a simple job busting out code for cash.
			:* There is no limit to how many resources the runner can install
			:* If the runner becomes tagged the corp can pay 2 credits to trash a resource

	:'''Agendas''': What the corp wants to do, their top-secret plans; these are the cards that win ~~you~~ the game. Ranging from something as small as a sim-sense movie to as large as toppling a government, agendas are what a corp has to protect, advance, and score. Every agenda has an agenda points value, an advancement requirement, and some kind of effect that can be used once the agenda is scored - sometimes right away, sometimes by using clicks.		:'''Agendas''': What the corp wants to do, their top-secret plans; these are the cards that win either player the game.

They have an exclusive ICE type - Bioroid - which represent the robot brains hooked into their network. Bioroids have much better stats than other comparable ICE, but their instability means that a Runner can just "wait it out" by spending clicks to break their subroutines.
