Additional information
- You're expected to bring two legal Startup decks — one Runner and one Corp. You'll play with these two decks all day and may not change them between rounds. If you don't have cards of your own, you can find a guide on how to print decks on the Belgrade Netrunner Discord.
- Your decks should be in opaque sleeves. Ideally, bring a few spare sleeves for each deck as well, in case one gets damaged while shuffling.
- I will have several sets of dice and tokens to share, but please bring your own if you have them.
- Over the course of the day, we will play 6 rounds of Netrunner, which can be pretty exhausting. Make sure you rest during the breaks, eat and drink enough, and get some fresh air.
- I will try to set up a visible countdown for each round. Time will be called at 5 minutes remaining and again when the round ends.
- When time is called, the active player finishes their turn, and their opponent gets one final turn.
- The Corp wins by scoring 7 agenda points or by flatlining the Runner. The Runner wins by stealing 7 agenda points or when the Corp draws from an empty R&D. If time is called before either happens, the player with the most agenda points wins.
- You can drop out at any time without explanation, for example if you feel tired or overwhelmed. You can also rejoin if and when you feel ready.
- My goal is a friendly, relaxed atmosphere where everyone has a lot of fun. If something is bothering you, or you have a problem or need help, feel free to talk to me.
Good luck! Have fun! ❤️
