CardRunners is a two-player co-operative 55-card game. Players are cyberpunks, trying to find the right combination of access codes to break into five buildings before the system crashes or the police arrive. CardRunners is a 30-minute game of hand management, recipe fulfillment, and sticking it to the Man.
Players navigate through a 3x3 grid of buildings with specific access codes. At the same time, players are playing, tucking, and swapping cards from a center row in hopes of collecting the needed access codes to break into the buildings. Once a player has the correct combination, they immediately take down the building. Once five buildings have been infiltrated, players win. However, if the police arrive, they lose.
