It's better than good, it's absolutely amazing. Probably the best designed and most balanced TCG I've ever played.
And best of all, it's really cheap to get into. 30 bucks for the base set, and then each complete expansion is $15. No rares, no chase cards, no mythics, you get it all in one box.
I desperately am looking for people to play with in my area, but alas, it hasn't caught on in St. Louis yet....
This game is also on OCTGN if anybody wants to play it.
No packs is kinda a bummer though since i really enjoy opening random pack and getting surprised with a UR hence why i supported the kickstarter thread.

Question. If you buy the core set is it enough for two people to play?
I love the asymmetrical game play. I have only got to play a few rounds with each side but it was a blast. How worth it are the expansions?
I know this is a necro but what packs would you suggest for starting deck building? I got bored due to lack of variety and stopped playing but I think a few packs for christmas may start the bug again.
I was going to get into NR, but star wars lcg just looked way cooler, so I got that...
Anyone know if there's a way to play this game online? It seems like we have quite a few people that play the game so it might be fun to be able to play it with each other.Does Lackey, or similar programs, have an A:NR plugin at all, or something like that?
To be competitive, you have to have 2.
You can play for a long time and get a great feel for whether the game is for you or not before you need to buy any additional cards.
It depends on what you are looking for...The holistic approach is to purchase expansions in the order that they originally shipped. This would let you experience how the meta shifted over time. It also makes it easier to discuss your collection with other players (e.g., "I have everything up through A Study in Static.")A second approach would be to preferentially select packs that give you the most interesting options for building across the board. This will introduce you to a number of the archetypes and some moderately powerful decks.The last approach would be to start with a couple of factions (one corp, one runner) that you are interested in a purchase packs to expand on those. You can pretty quickly become competitive this way at minimal cost.I believe both reddit (specifically the Net Runner subreddit) and Shut Up and Sit Down have buying guides. Or you could post which approach you are interested in, and I could make some suggestions.
Also worthy of consideration is Opening Moves, based almost solely on one card--Jackson Howard. There are some other good cards in that pack (e.g., Next Bronze), but J. How is the rock star. Without a doubt the best corp card printed to date. [/quoteI prefer Director Haas, especially because I don't even use Jackson Howard (and if I'm remembering who he is, don't really want to either)

At the recent Worlds, only one Corp deck in the Top 16 did not run three copies (the maximum) of Jackson Howard, and that deck ran two copies. The card really is *that* good.
I never said I play top decks. I never said how good he was, all I said was what I preferred. I essentially play this game with three other people and I doubt any of us are top level good. I don't really check up top decks or anything like that. I suppose I should have made that a little more clear.
Do expansions come out every month?

Of course I may have to try Jackson Howard out now that I know he is really strong, maybe I can even more consistently beat my friends.
So in a tournament structure for this game does each player bring a corp and a runner deck (or multiples of each faction) and then they get randomly assigned a role each match? Or do you pick a side and play that the whole time?
That's just like star wars lcg!
Yea, but NR is cool because it has two different kinds of cards, corps an netrunners, with different functions.
