Hack the source of corruption

HOW TO PLAY

Each player starts their day by making a choice. Should I go to the office or to the basement? That choice determines which of their decks they draw cards from.

Office cards progress the game by infiltrating higher up the corporate ladder. They also earn some money, help everyone draw cards and make it easier to install viruses, strong permanent cards. They are safer.

Basement cards improve your decks and generate a lot of blocks, which you can also turn into money. They are worse at drawing cards and dealing with threats, but make it easier to infiltrate. They are riskier.

As you play, you are forced to draw Encounter cards, unwanted attention as a result of illegal activities. You have to play them eventually, but you decide when. As long as you don't have too many, there is often a way to dodge the threats together. But pile on too many, and someone might end up in jail.

If all players only draw office cards, you are likely to lose slowly. If all players only draw basement cards, you are likely to lose quickly. Somewhere in between is a path to victory.

Each character has their own stats and is better suited for certain playstyles. High Voice characters are manipulative and cool, excellent at climbing the corporate ladder. High Mind characters are cunning and experienced, adept at turning blocks into money and installing viruses. High Will characters are driven and draw many cards.

At the end of each day, you must pay rent. If you can’t, you lose. Then a new day begins, and players again chose which of their decks to draw cards from. The moment any player is promoted to CEO, everyone wins.
