Kickstarter always presents itself as a fertile territory to find new board game proposals like that of Thunderwork Games. The editor of Cartographers looking for financing for your new project, Metrorunnerand for now it has already overcome the barrier they had set.
Son 47,542 dollars were achieved, by 959 sponsors, of the 27,526 that were agreed upon as the goal. The work takes us to the underworld of Mirror City, a cyberpunk city during a dystopian future and we will assume the role of a skilled hacker. The games invite us to collect resources by visiting the different districts of the map while we try to fulfill the contracts of the megacorporations.
Between one and five players can participate to compete to increase their influence and earn more reputation by accumulating faction credits. Of course, we will have to be careful by hacking network nodes and opening different routes with which to advance through the city without any danger. All this using different tokens and figures that can be expanded with the Dropsite mini-expansion or with improvements for piracy with PANOP technology.
Stephen Kerr is the designer in charge of shaping Metrorunner and it is his debut in the discipline, while the Argentine illustrator, Ignacio Bazán, illustrates the art after having worked in Star Wars: Rebellion. If we want the Into the Shadows basic pack, we will have to shell out 45 dollars and prepare another 12 dollars for shipping to European territory.
On the other hand, with 56 dollars we get the Prime Runner edition that includes the aforementioned PANOP technology as an extra. In any case, you can take a look at the rule book to better understand its dynamics or play directly in the virtual version for Tabletop Simulator.
