''Netrunner'' is a collectible card game (CCG) designed by Richard Garfield, the creator of ''Magic: The Gathering''. It was published by Wizards of the Coast and introduced in 1996. The game is based heavily on the William Gibson novel ''Neuromancer'', but also draws additional flavor from the broader cyberpunk genre. ''Netrunner'' was lauded by critics, such as ''InQuest'' magazine, for its balanced game play and impressive artwork.〔http://www.oocities.org/theshortcircuit/basics/inquest.html〕 In 1999 ''Pyramid'' magazine named ''Netrunner'' as one of "The Millennium's Most Underrated Games". According to editor Scott Haring, "among the connoisseurs of the card game design art, ''Netrunner'' is considered to be one of the best-designed games ever." In 2012, Fantasy Flight Games released ''Android: Netrunner'', a new card game based on ''Netrunner'', under license from Wizards of the Coast. The new game uses Fantasy Flight Games' Living Card Game release format (as used in their Warhammer: Invasion, A Game of Thrones, Call of Cthulhu, and Lord of the Rings games), and shares the cyberpunk setting of their Android board game. == Gameplay == ''Netrunner'' depicts cyberspace combat between a global mega-corporation (the Corp) and a hacker (the Runner). The Corp's goal is to complete their secret agendas before the Runner can hack in and steal their data. It isn't easy, though, as the Corp has strong defensive ''data forts'' protected by malevolent computer programs known as ''ICE'' (short for Intrusion Countermeasures Electronics). The Runner must use special programs of their own, called ''icebreakers'', to break through and steal the hidden plans. All this is paid for in the game by ''bits'' (representing currency), which are earned and spent during the course of play. An interesting feature of ''Netrunner'' is that each side has different abilities and uses completely different cards distinguished by alternate card backs. This contrasts with most other CCGs, which usually depict a "battle between peers" where each opponent draws upon the same card pool. While a player does not have to play both sides except in tournament play, it is commonly held that a firm understanding of both leads to better overall player ability. The ''Cyberpunk 2020'' supplement ''Rache Bartmoss' Brainware Blowout'' featured rules on using ''Netrunner'' cards instead of the RPG's existing system to simulate netrunning during game sessions. It also gave conversions to the RPG of some of the cards in the base set (the rest having been mentioned in one book or another). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Netrunner」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
