The learning curve for this one may turn some people off but the payoff is a very deep, well thought out experience. While the theme with a lot of games feels a bit "thrown in," it permeates this one and you really start believing you're in this futuristic world of hacker vs. corporation. You're probably going to keep the rulebook nearby for your first bunch of games, and thank goodness for being able to search cards/rules online quickly during a match, but it always feels fun and the more you get used to gameplay the more fun it becomes. While there's obviously some luck involved because it is a card game, your decisions are what will get you those tasty Agenda cards and ultimately victory. It's surprising how many actions you can perform on a turn, and while it feels like very few actions are ever wasted, it never feels so tense that it stops being anything short of a great time. I've never played an asymmetric card game or had an experience like this and I absolutely love it. I look forward to many more games and exploring some of the expansions.
