Watch “A Wonderful Cyberpunk Mechanic Mish-Mash | Metrorunner Board Game Review,” a board game review for Metrorunner from Play The Game HQ on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Play The Game HQ on YouTube:

Metrorunner is the newest game from Thunderworks Games - leaving the world of Ulos and entering the cyberpunk world of Mirror City's underworld where players will need to work, hack and complete jobs to build influence, gain notoriety, and come out on top. Metrorunner has great mixture of mechanics, from Rondel to Engine Building, with a really cool spacial puzzle hacking element. Check it out on Kickstarter here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thunderworks/metrorunner?ref=2p7fpu #Metrorunner #review #Thunderworks #boardgames #playthegame #PlaytheGameHQ #PlaytheGameChannel #Tabletop #TaletopGames #FamilyGames #Kidsplaining #bestboardgames #bestfamilygames #hottestboardgames This game was sent to us by the publisher in exchange for our fair and honest review. From the Publisher Being a runner in Mirror City's underworld ain't easy, but you're determined to make a name for yourself amidst all the opportunities a dystopian future has to offer. After all, you're the sharpest hacker in your district, right? Keep a wary bio-enhanced eye over your shoulder as you ride the Metro, though, because other runners are determined to cut in on your action! Metrorunner is a competitive worker-movement and resource-collection game for 1-5 players set in a high-tech neon future featuring a tile-puzzle mini-game. Circling the districts of Mirror City on the Metro line, you compete for resources as you race to fulfill contracts for the ruthless and greedy mega-corporations. Grow your influence and gain reputation, squeezing every credit you can from corrupt factions, while you secretly steal their data for your home district! Carefully plot your path around the city to avoid and cut off other runners, while taking opportunities to use your skills and upgrades to hack into network nodes. Manipulate the circuitry of a central tile grid, cleverly altering the pathways of an ever-changing puzzle to breach the firewalls. Secure your influence and notoriety by completing tricky jobs across the city, hijacking black market tech, and spending your hard-earned credits wisely. Only then will you rise above the competition, earning a coveted place within the power struggle of Mirror City. At the end of the line, will you win the respect of the underworld, or fade into obscurity? Play the Game HQ a youtube channel dedicated to sharing our love of boardgames. Our flagship series, Play the Game, is a high quality multi-camera board game play through series featuring a bunch of friends gathered around the table playing board games. Play the Game takes its inspiration from other shows like Tabletop. Our Mission with Play the Game is to highlight the joy that comes when you gather around the table with friends and play a board game. Play the Game features a dedicated board game playthrough studio with 7 cameras, a custom board game table, an awesome custom made back-lit logo on the wall, and tons of easter eggs sprinked through the studio space. Play the Game is also the home of the Kidsplaining tutorial series, where Jarred (12) and Peyton (9) teach some of our favorite games in high quality, scripted board game tutorial videos. Kidsplaining started as a way to share our love of board games and help those who were intimidated by more complicated modern board games take a chance on new ones - because if a kid can teach it, how hard can it be? https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/406329/metrorunner
