Deconstructing Games and Their Mechanics

---

There is a great story behind the journey this game underwent. In the 1990's boon of collectable card games, Netrunner was one of the first to hit shelves, but was discontinued less than 2 years into its production. more than a decade later it was licensed as Android Netrunner for several years where it underwent a improvements both in game play and card availability while staying true to its roots. When the license expired, a player community took over to continue its availability via Null Signals. Our company strives to build a game as compelling as this for the player community.

Great take aways for StrikerCrash Studios

- The artwork is fantastic across all ownership/iterations

- The asymmetry is a really fun opportunity to fill a playstyle that is rare

- It  builds towards tense outcomes

Things to avoid for StrikerCrash Studios

- It is very complex, deck building in particular, as well as rules and cards that break the rules

- There is a ton of text and mechanics that are difficult to understand and teach

- Additions of new cards and mechanics unbalanced the game

The Decipher collectable card game is a complex deck building system having very rich story telling using versions of main characters, and it also brings forth the lore and history of characters that only have a brief appearance in the movies. 

Great take aways for StrikerCrash Studios

- As play progresses each game creates a new story based within the methos. It changes what the Star Wars story could be

- The most fun deck creations center around recreating moments in the movies (example the assault on Hoth)

Things to avoid for StrikerCrash Studios

- The rules are incredibly complicated, and many cards break/overrule the rules. This is something to avoid

- It is collectable and thus very hard to obtain main characters
