Oh, there's 4 factions on either side with different cards. One Corporation is all about the firewalls, another is about killing the Criminal and different Criminals factions have different cards. |

Played my first game of 'Puerto Rico' last night. I enjoyed it, but despite the relatively simple mechanics there's a lot to learn about how to play it. It's the kind of game where it's too easy to think you're playing a solo game and forget that what you choose to do might help your opponents. |

No, but most of the game involves importing 'willing colonists' from abroad and putting them to work on your plantations. The colour choice for these tokens is a little unfortunate. |

Played 4. Won 2. Lost 2. The ones I lost was against a far more experienced player. The first game he used my Corp deck and flatlined me (I lost all my cards) with a trap as it was designed to do. Second game I got no ice up and he snaffled my agendas. The two I won was against someone as new as me. I flatlined him on turn three with a trap in the first game and then turn 6 in the second. I love this. Edit: not all decks are ones like mine to trap and flatlined. Others are geared towards protecting agendas and building them. Mine was geared towards making the runner scared about turning over my cards and making him waste his resources that way. |

In case anyone is interested, the moment I fell in love with netrunner: I won a game by setting up a remote server (I used an agenda card which i can upgrade to score points) with one layer of ice (protects the server by the runner needing things (cash, other cards) to pass it). I upgraded the agenda once. The runner ignored it for his go so on my next turn I got some more cash in then drew more attention to the face down agenda card by upgrading it again. The runner, seeing it was a card that could be worth points and worth having, took the bait, had to pay to get through my ice and got the agenda card. It was a successful run but left him with little cash. On my go, I then used Sea Source (if the runner has made a successful run, whuch he did, you can use money to get a tag on the runner (who has to outbid you for it to not happen) and Scorched Earth (tagged runner loses 4 cards )to flatline him (runner has no cards in their hands). Boom! I got that tingly feeling like when you explode someone in Eve or you see Aunt Tumble. |

Second game I stalled and he ran in through my trap server which was no longer a trap pile and snagged the winning points. When i was on 5 lointsThird game my criminal runner was having a whale of a time until he stalled in the end game. When I was on 6 points. I will try and make both decks of cards more efficient and I have learning decks for the cottage. Play 3 games on either side and you'll be making your own deck right away. My ploys of "let them run and we'll get them next turn" needs looking at. |

I need to beef up my runner deck and reinstate the traps in the Corp deck. First game I had 3 agendas in my hand of 5 cards but my opponent did not run, so I spent the next 5 turns trying to do something with them. I discarded them and he found the winning points in the bin

Netrunner tonight! We'll see how my NEW IMPOROVED decks work. I swapped out some cards that were useful at the eh inning if the game for some that are strong get toward the end. And put in a greater variety of Agendas. And switched my Corp ID to one that punishes the runner for taking stuff. |

Annoyingly: I put those cards back in that would have been of use last week. They should have stayed out..... |

I was back in the Minor Leagues last night. The European Map has ferries (need a love train card and colors), tunnels (draw 3 from the top, need to match the color being played with am additional card to proceed) and stations (can use someone else's track). Stations make it a bit less fraught when MrsA takes all the track you want but are worth 4 if unused. The US map is still the Board though. |
