... might sound cool, but is in fact a massive clickbait. We're a minimal group of four players in Oslo, Norway, who have been playing on and off since the Flashpoint cycle. We recently purchased the full NISEI pool of cards and decided to play a Startup tournament.

Being only four players, we made it a double sided round robin format, resulting in three rounds of a total of six games each.

The deck went 2-1 on the day, beating Breakerless Loup and Coffee Az, and losing to Ghosttongue/Swift Zahya. My runner deck was Coffee Control, which also went 2-1.

The Deck

The deck is a depressing image of the economy of our time, systematically built to keep the runner poor. Cayambe is a busted card and is not unique. Coupled with advanceable ice, as well as non-advancable with advancements on them, servers get very difficult to break through repeatedly, if at all. Not to mention that Reversed Accounts and Artificial Cryptocrash will punish you for trying to save up a buffer. (How will you be able to save capital for a home loan, when you're stuck paying rent for your current shitty apartment.)

However, the deck is not as rich as it might seem either, as rezzing ice is expensive and Pinhole Threading is a card. Whitespace might be better as Pop-up Window.

Thank you!

Thanks a bunch to our dedicated and friendly playgroup, who has stuck with this game on our own for years. Hopefully, we'll continue for years to come. Cheers!
