Whenever your partitions seal off a section of the board containing only your access point or access points, they are “secured” and flipped face down.

NISEI-1 – Downfall

€59.99
It happened without warning, out of a clear evening sky. The neons of New Angeles were flickering to life, as an equatorial twilight speed across the city. Events progressed broken and disordered. A strobing light directly overhead, like a drive flame where no ship should be. A rain of carbon shards shattering windows and downing hoppers in Manta, molten and twisted into tortured forms. Cayambe rung with a bone shaking vibration, as if someone had capriciously plucked a planet sized guitar.

It’s set on Grand Cross, a space station in crisis. Corporations are corrupting it into an authoritarian monument to greed. Long-time residents are being pushed out of their neighbourhoods as the wealthy expand their territory. In the shadows cast by the corporations lurk criminal gangs, hate groups, and rogue robots.

Whether you’re engaging in street activism, getting dragged into corporate schemes, or fighting the corporations and their minions directly, your goal is to steer the station towards a better future before it’s too late.

Megacorp is a card game about business, set in the dark, cyberpunk post-capitalist era of mankind’s colonization of the galaxy.

Players take the role of corporations controlled by indomitable founders from three factions. Test your commercial acumen and challenge your friends business skills in a fun, dynamic game where assets change hands and the boardroom takes to the battlefield!
