Android: Netrunner is a two-player card game set in a cyberpunk world where a hacker and a corporation angrily click their mouse buttons at each other until one of the following things happens:
1. The corporation researches a bunch of terrifying technology.
2. The hacker steals all the files the CEO accidentally left on his desktop.
3. The corporation runs out of ideas, and just sits there going: Uhhh.
4. The hacker dies from too much internet.
We have a much better explanation below. For now, let’s say it s a good game. The downside, however, is that it s not a PC game. You can only play it in meatspace, with real, germ-spreading cards bought from fleshy human vendors of physical antiquities. At least, that s how it seems. Turns out there s an unofficial website called Jinteki.net that lets you play online for free. But is it worth the click? Matt and Brendan take a look.
