“Nightlancer” recently launched on Kickstarter and seems perfect for those who want a meaty RPG without the long time-crunch. In this cyberpunk universe, you’ll be trading with the black market and using your contact network to take on challenging missions. While there is a cooperative element, in the end only one of you will escape. Do YOU have what it takes to be a Nightlancer?
Game Developer Joseph Norris offered the following press release:

Adversity Games is thrilled to announce the Kickstarter campaign launch for Nightlancer
A cut-throat cyberpunk board game by indie developer Joseph Norris
Oxford, England, May 31st 2018
Today Adversity Games announces the launch of Nightlancer, the cuthroat cyberpunk board game from the mind of passionate gamer and cyberpunk enthusiast Joseph Norris.
Control one of eight unique Nightlancer characters and guide them through the underworld of dystopian 2099 Birmingham, England. Immerse yourself in a deeply thematic game in a crumbling society where people struggle to survive a gauntlet of authoritarian regimes, unchecked crime and death cults.
The Nightlancers must overcome tough challenges, multiple-path missions and the other Nightlancers! Use the black market and contact networks to get ahead. Risk it all on a big pay day or play it safe. Can your ideals survive the ruthless underworld life?
The Kickstarter campaign is live now and will will run until 30th June. Successful funding covers artwork, printing and fulfilment costs to backers worldwide.
Kickstarter is a crowdfunding platform that allows indie developers like Joseph to overcome the cost barrier to starting a small business. Pledge money to the campaign to help Nightlancer be published and then depending on pledge level, receive a full copy of the game or even be immortalised as a part of the game art!
Number of players 2-4 (optional co-operative and solo game rules)
