is there any way to break the game by its own rules and thereby perhaps enjoy it?

I remember getting Android and being like WOW THIS poo poo IS GREAT and I kept playing it, and slowly I began to look around me and it was like I had mistaken a million dildos for cold hard cash

and then I sold it

Friend of mine bought Android and was super excited to play it but we never did, which was a relief because I knew it was total poo poo.

i never play crap that requires making up decks outside of the game in order to play, who the gently caress has the time to do that poo poo except for lazy students/unemployed losers

I'll probably never play Netrunner because I'm incredibly apathetic to the idea of constructing decks outside of the game.

i normally wouldnt either, but everyone was all up in arms about it, then the second i looked away long enough to buy it, everyone turned against it.

i like the star wars lcg's approach to it where you just pick a handful of cards and everything else follows automatically, but the game itself is probably just another ffg lcg turd.

i like card games that have a fixed number of cards in the base game so that the designers can't go 'whoops, didn't think how this card would interact with one printed 5 years ago'

It's close enough to a board game and it's also really fun. It does get more fun as you get into building decks and stuff tho. I don't get to play any games at all Netrunner enough

Corp is boring and they took all the fun, stupid poo poo out of the old game when they remade it. Avoid.
