About this board game

Nightlancer is a competitive cyberpunk game for 1–4 players, with a playing time of approximately 120 minutes. Set in the dystopian future of 2099, it challenges each player to guide a Nightlancer through a hazardous underworld career while trying to secure their future before society collapses.

Each player controls one of 10 unique Nightlancers. During the game, players take on challenging missions featuring multiple-choice paths. The decisions they make should suit their character’s abilities and available options, and successful missions provide payment to fuel their plans.

Money can be invested in several ways. Improve your range of possibilities with Black Market and Training cards, or put your earnings into Prospects as you work toward victory. Choosing how to use each payment is central to building a secure future.

  • Choose from 10 unique Nightlancers.
  • Face missions with multiple-choice paths.
  • Use earnings for Black Market cards, Training cards, or Prospects.
  • Play Contact cards for advantages or to obstruct opponents.
  • Complete Agendas for another route to Prospects.

Contact cards give players opportunities to influence every game round. Use them to gain advantages or obstruct opponents, or save them to help complete Agendas. These Agendas offer another path toward gaining Prospects.

At the end of the game, the player with the most Prospects wins. Nightlancer also includes optional solitaire and cooperative rules, providing additional ways to experience its cyberpunk career and survival challenge.
