Summary: “A neon-infused cyberpunk roll & write/stamp game. Players create their own thriving criminal empire in a crime-infested cyberpunk future by cleverly filling their Player Sheet with drawn agents, intel, weapons and money. Not only will you take on a big variety of missions, unlock different bonuses and create spectacular combos, you will also be able to manipulate the value of the resources at the black market. In every round dice are rolled and randomly placed on Neighbourhood Cards. Players then draft a combination of dice and cards in turn order. The color of the dice dictates what resource it is and the number in which row & column of your District Sheet you’re able to draw it. When you complete full rows and columns, you unlock different Bonuses allowing for neat combos. As soon as a player has completed 4 rows/columns or maxed out 3 Black Market resources, it signals the end of the game and the game proceeds until everyone has been the first player an equal amount of time. Players score points for the Mission Cards, their row/column Bonuses and the Black Market.”
