![]() No new abilities yet, but I do have some Karma from prior missions. My troll Runner card: I’ve earned a little nuyen and taken a few hits. For the sake of simplification, I’ll explain how the game works with four players. Shadowrun Crossfire is designed so that all four roles (Street Samurai, Decker, Mage, and Face) are always present, so if you have fewer than four players then some players will take more than one role card, but will still play just one character. The box isn’t so great-the plastic insert reminds me of the one that comes with Thunderstone-room for lots of cards, plus a few unspecified wells in the center-and until there are a lot of expansions, it has a lot of empty space. Shadowrun veterans probably won’t need it. It’s not necessary for playing the game, but the 24-page booklet is a good summary of what the world is all about. Since I wasn’t familiar with the Shadowrun universe, the Welcome to the Sixth World booklet was a great way to learn a bit of the background. The Character Expansion Pack includes four more of each metatype, four bonus basic cards, and 100 upgrade stickers. The 10 Runner cards give you two choices of each metatype (Human, Elf, Dwarf, Troll, Orc) that are identical in gameplay but have different artwork, and if that’s not enough you can also get the Character Expansion Pack that gives you 20 new runner cards to choose from. The obstacle cards and Black Market cards have great art on them. Additional Missions can be downloaded from the Shadowrun Crossfire website. Each mission has slightly a slightly different way to play: the Crossfire mission is the basic scenario-fight off three rounds of obstacles Extraction requires you to keep a Client alive Dragon Fight pits you against a very powerful enemy. The Mission cards have a lot of text on them, but they’re basically miniature rule sheets. Mission cards explain the details of how each mission is played. Might have been nice to have a larger track on the card with just a cube placed on it or something. ![]() The Damage tokens are triangles that you use to mark the damage track on an obstacle, and I’d say it’s not a great system because it’s easy to bump. The components are decent quality-all of the tokens are cardboard punch-outs, pretty thick cardboard and easy to identify. The mechanics could be learned by younger players, but due to the content (which is based on the Shadowrun RPG) and some language, it’s probably still best to stick with older kids. Shadowrun Crossfire is a cooperative deck-building game from Catalyst Game Labs, set in the cyberpunk fantasy Shadowrun RPG universe.Īt a glance: Shadowrun Crossfire is for 1 to 4 players (though ideally 4 players), ages 13 and up, and takes about 30-60 minutes to play. ![]() Gather your runners-there’s nuyen to be earned. ![]()
