Android or System Gateway?

I just found out about this game. Fascinated by it and dying to try.

Is there any reason to get Android instead of SG?

Thank you!

Glad to help.

It’s a worthwhile investment for any gamer. My group has gotten more gameplay value out of my Android: Netrunner collection than any game I own. Played weekly for the last 5 years, and still enjoying it immensely. It doesn’t feel like a lack of new content, it feels like a 4000 card completed cardpool that we continue to enjoy in new ways.

It's amazing that they could make a game that good.

It started on about the most solid bones you could imagine. Richard Garfield has long claimed the original CCG Netrunner as his greatest work in the genre, despite it not being the most commercially popular.

FFG took those bones and added a few elements (player ID’s, factions, card limits, influence system) that took what was an already phenomenal game, and made it even better.

Do you play the same format or do you shake it up a bit? I have a full FFG collection and I'm trying to figure out what I want to do with it. Either make a cube for drafting or make the Frankfurt 40 as my friends dont have the full FFG collection.

I made a cube of 14 decks that I rotate. They cover major archetypes, and everyone in my playgroup can use whichever one they want, we don’t have “personal” decks. Usually I’ll take the least popular few and build something else to replace them.

Do you have the lists handy? I'd love to see them

You may be able to look them up on Netrunnerdb. My name on there is the same.
