Android: Mainframe

Players take the roles of elite cybercriminals racing to control accounts on a vulnerable bank’s network. Each round a player places an access point, runs a program, or passes; programs build partitions between network nodes and can seal off regions. When a sealed region contains only a player’s access point(s), those access points become secured and score the accounts in that region at game end. The game uses player hands of program cards and asymmetric runner abilities, and plays up to four players in fast, tactical turns focused on area control and timing.

    Fun abstract, with a great assymetric touch that allows players to create some spectacular turns. PROS - Interesting base mechanic. - Very high degree of interaction. - The assymetric cards create great twists. CONS - I wouldn't reccomend it with 2 players. - It isn't thematic at all, despite its Android theme. This can be dissapointing for some players.
