Cell - a Cyberpunk Strategy Game - is a card based board-game that mixes a cyberpunk meme with the ancient Asian game of Go. Combat is quick and card driven.
Players' build the Sprawl city with Sprawl Cells while fighting over control of those Cells by deploying Corporate Samurai and Hover-bikers. Neurohackers are also used by owning the Matrix to provide advantage in battle and add points at the endgame. Control markers are used to convert ownership of Cells like in the game of Go.
There are four Sprawl-wide Events that can occur which include Terrorists Nuke, Mass Rioting, the Nemesis Mecha, and a Net Plague.
There are two versions of Cell, Cell and Cell: Prime. They are identical in rules but Cell: Prime is illustrated by the designer and is available online.
Cell is due to be released by end of 2008. Cell: Prime Beta has been released.
