Correction: 10:49 - The ICE encountered is Strength 4, higher than the icebreaker's 3 - this means it would have to boost before breaking the subroutine. - เกม

Surely the best introductory video to the best starter set for the best asymmetrical hacking-based cyberpunk card game to have ever existed!
Had never heard of netrunner and a chap called Joe gave me and my friend a great tutorial game at the UK games expo, we loved it and bought system gateway deck on the spot. What a fantastic thing that the community are keeping this alive.
Great, concise and clear tutorial video here. Thank you!
Much needed! Great tutorial!
Just got the system gateway and update pack, I won my first game and also got some reprinted overload cards! Cheers for the amazing game
Super great video
Thank you so much! This is really helpful for new players.
I love the game but am having issues teaching the game. This does help a lot. Hopefully I can convince my friends to start playing this game, it is amazing.
I believe there was a mistake while explaining the run... ? Runner's Cleaver has only 3 strength vs 2+2 (4) total strength of the ice barrier... That means runner WOULDN'T be able to interface with the ice before paying 2 credits to gain 1 strength and THEN he would have to pay 1 additional credit to break the "end the turn" subroutine. In the video it says "runner can interact with the ice" and only pays 1 credit to break the "end the turn" subroutine.
I know this is from 10 months ago but I have an answer for this. The text on Palisade says "While this ice is protecting a remote server, it gets +2 strength.". In the video Palisade is protecting R&D thus not receiving the bonus strength. Kinda confusing for a beginner video TBH
It's actually not protecting R&D. The R&D is on the other side of HQ where you can see multiple cards stacked up. So it should have required the strength increase cost to get through. And that can be supported by the video walking it through the capture of an agenda during that run.@@iliketoast951
@@iliketoast951 Doesn't help that they verbally stated the strength was +2. Thanks for the explanation though, just getting into the game and was very confused by that part of the video. So they corrected the mistake behind the scenes, but left the verbal mistake in.
Joining up today thanks for the video
Thanks for the video. Will definitely be pointing people this way. I do think in two separate examples you mention that Cleaver would not need to be boosted to interact with Palisade but that wasn’t true in either example because Palisade was 4 strength on a remote and Cleaver is strength 3. Maybe showing an example of a run on a central server would be easier because the extra text on Palisade wouldn’t be active? Just a thought. Anyways, thanks again.
10:52 and 13:25 are time stamps for reference.
Ah, I was confused about that, glad to see I understood it correctly. Thank you!
Best video ever!
I've taught the game to a LOT of people, over the years, and never did it as quickly, and concisely, as this video did! 😄
Couple of minor mistakes in the video - but, overall, one of the best Netrunner intro videos I've seen!
could you please state the mistakes so one doesn't learn the game with these?
@@Jon.Li.Sketches - of course!
5:25 - It is stated that all servers can only hold one ASSET or AGENDA. This is incorrect - Central Servers (HQ, R&D, Archives) can never have assets, or agendas, installed within them. When a card is trashed/discarded, it is not considered to be installed when it is sent to Archives - therefore archives can hold any amount of agenda/asset cards.
10:40 - The ICE had strength 4 (2 base + 2 for being on a remote server). The Runner's program was strength 3, so needed to be boosted to strength 4 before it could break the ICE. This was not done.
11:05 - The keyword "bypass" is used instead of "pass" (which are very different things).
13:23 - Once again, the Runner breaks the strength 4 barrier ICE with a strength 3 breaker.
These are all very small mistakes, inside a wonderful introduction video!
@@kensavage7657 thanks for a very detailed and quick response! ;)
When teaching new players would you have them be the Corp or Runner for their first game?
@@PressEnter42 - That's a really good question.
Personally, I recommend that new players play as corp for their first game. The reason is that the corp player has access to more hidden information than the runner. The only information that the corp does not have is the 5 cards in the runner's hand.
The Runner does not know any of the face down ICE, especially. Some ICE can be dangerous to run through - so some new players can be scared to run until they are "set up properly".
So, in a first teaching game, I'd prefer to be the Runner. I would start aggressive, running servers without breakers. I explain why I'm doing things. I try to demonstrate that the corp has the choice to let me in - so I see cards and, maybe, score agendas. Or, the corp can spend all their money on ICE - and then be poor.
I don't think there's any "wrong" answer. If you're teaching a new player - the most important thing, in a first game, is to just vocalise what you're doing and why you're doing it.
I wish someone would make a step-by-step tutorial deck of the Runner and of the Corporation with explanation of each turn by both the Runner and the Corporation. It would be very helpful in learning the game. Any suggestions where to find such a tutorial would be greatly appreciated.
Try to practice against the AI on -chiriboga.sifnt.net.au-
It uses the system gateway decks and is a great free practice tool!
Hey Lyle, did you find anything? We’ve just got this game for Christmas and to be honest it’s very confusing, even after watching this video. I need a step by step play through with each deck to get my bearings.
@@matthewreynolds4382 keep play testing and referencing any how to play videos you can find and Reddit for specific questions . Eventually it will smooth out and make sense! It’s worth it.
I can help if you ask a question here I’ll do my best to answer
Very good. Thanks
Can I just say it's wonderful to have a woman do this video because the game is not a genre you usually think of for women players.
I think getting more women interested in this game word be wonderful.
I like those little tokens. Where can I pick some up?
10:44 seems to be wrong. The ICE has strength 4 (because it is on a remote server. Maybe this should be mentioned explicitely). So the Ice breaker indeed needs a boost.
I was confused by this too. The ICE is protecting a central server so it should have strength 2 I would have thought but the voiceover says it's strength 4?
@@markthomas3130 So just to clarify, does ICE have additional strength when it's protecting a remote server?
@@matthewreynolds4382 I'm still learning myself to take with a huge pinch of salt.
My understanding here is that the explanation at this point is a bit confused.
The ICE in this case has a base strength of 2 (bottom left of the card). A runner's program needs to equal of exceed this in order to pass it. However, this specific piece of ICE (Pallisade) states that it's +2 if defending a remote server (i.e. a server that isn't your HQ (hand), Archives (discard) or R&D (deck/stack). It's not clear in the example if that is or isn't the case. The voiceover states that the card has a strength of 4 (2 base + 2 for defending a remote server), but then she goes on to say the runner's program can defeat it with 3 which shouldn't be correct. Unless the voiceover was wrong and the ICE was not protecting a remote in which case it's correct
tl;dr The voiceover contradicted itself and it's not clear if the ICE should have had +2 or not
To answer your question though, as far as I know, ICE doesn't automatically get a bonus for protecting a remote. However this specific ICE does as per it's card ability
@@markthomas3130 Thanks for that help! Yeah it does seem that there is an error in that part of the video.
I'm also just trying to learn the game after getting it for Christmas. It's certainly more complicated than I thought it would be!
@@markthomas3130 It's definitely a remote server. There is an agenda installed there, which the runner accesses at the end of this example. So the strength is 4.
I was following until the test run. the ice breaks make sense to me aside from the first one. Palisade has 2 strength + 2 because its protecting a remote server, so thats a strength of four. The Cleaver Icebreaker has a strength of 3. Why is the cleaver allowed to interact with the barrier without having to pay 2 credits to then have 4 strength?
They made a mistake.
The second ice is wrong too lol. They pay 2 credits to increase Unity's power but the card reads "pay 1 credit to add 1 strength for each ice breaker you have including this one" That means since it's 1 power you would only pay 1 to increase it's strength to 3 since you have 2 installed ice breakers.... Yet they paid 2 credits as if each credit gave Unity +1.
What happens if the runner runs on a piece of ice and the ice is flipped and they don't have any matching icebreakers. Or they have a matching ice breaker but not enough strength. Do they suffer the effects of the ice or does nothing happen?
Any subroutines on the ice that do not get broken - for whatever reason, including the runner deciding not to break them - take effect.
Is the deck building upgrade pack in the renewed system getaway pack?
Yes, it is.
I am thinking about getting started with Netrunner. Can anyone help me what the difference is between the 1x and 3x p&p pdfs?
one prints one of each card, the other prints 3 of each card.
Hope someone who knows reads this. I live in the UK and want to get into this game, but cant preorder the remastered System Gateway or Update 2021 sets. The site literally ships everywhere but the UK for some reason. No idea why. I checked the seller theu recommend the Null Signal site and it says they are out of stock. I contacted them today - 17 July 2023 and am waiting for a response. If anyone can give any advice on how I can get a pack of official remastered starter cards in the UK, I would appreciate all the info I can get. Thank you in advance.
Hey, I'm also in the UK and I managed to order System Gateway Remastered about a week ago from netrunnercardsuk, but now it seems already sold out. Looks like they keep an extremely low stock. Maybe worth sending them an email enquiring.
10:40 why can the runner interact with the barrier? It has a strength of 4 and you literally said a bit earlier that the strength of the program has to be equal or greater
And follow-up question: after an icebreaker has interfaced with an ice, can you use the same icebreaker to interface with another ice?
I think it's an error in the video. The Cleaver is not strong enough to interact with the ice. Therefor, the runner should have spent 2 credits.
@@heinokunzelmann8967 i think to remember that you can use the same breaker in the same run, but most of the time, you have to pay again to increase the strength. However, in the "old netrunner", there were breaker that keep their increased strength for the remainder of the run.
@@-roderick-4342 I asked in the same questions in the discord server and for posterity's sake I'll say what they told me here:
there was an error in the video, of course the cleaver should not have been able to interface
programs (unless otherwise stated) lose their buffs after the end of a run.
The same program can be used to break multiple ice during a run
Thank you for answering as well though, it is much appreciated!
You mention certain mechanics but not the cost. Like rezzing Ice you just say the cost but they have 2 numbers on the card
13:47 The runner's deaht
Anyone know a good UK seller of this ?
Netrunner Cards UK.
denotated?
Tutorial is really cool. But no trace/bad publicity/tag/link mechanics covered((
This tutorial is specifically for the System Gateway introductory experience, which does not include those mechanics for the sake of simplicity.
@@Saracenar oh, I see. Thank you!
Anyway great video
Oh no! Cards are not in protectors, what a cruelty!!
Wow, slow down there! No need to race through at 100mph when there is so much information being dumped.
Also, using the print at home deck, there are no red/blue backs to the cards and no 'Stop Here' card either so I'm already lost! I'd love to get into this game, but it's just so poorly explained. This is pretty weak for an official tutorial video.
