About this board game

Shadowrun: Crossfire – Prime Runner Edition is a cooperative deck-building card game for 1–4 players, with games lasting about 60 minutes. Set in the gritty cyberpunk-fantasy world of Shadowrun, it challenges a team of shadowrunners to work together against dangerous threats.

Each game sends your team on a tough job in the shadows. You might protect a client marked for death, shoot your way out of downtown when a run goes sour, or face down a dragon. The Sixth World is filled with threats ranging from ultra-violent gangers and flesh-eating ghouls to toxic spirits, corporate raiders, hard-nosed police officers, and dragons.

During a run, improve your deck with a mix of strategies while combining your team’s strengths. Shadowrunners can sling spells, hack the Matrix, talk a tiger out of his stripes, or bring down a charging ork from a hundred yards away. Your main assets are your guts, your wits, and your friends.

  • Cooperative play: work together as a shadowrunner team.
  • Deck-building: develop your deck with different strategies during each game.
  • Karma upgrades: enhance your character with cyber upgrades, physical augmentations, magical initiations, weapons training, and Edge.

The Prime Runner Edition features updated and revised rules, redesigned character cards, and new missions intended to streamline the experience and make it more accessible. In Shadowrun: Crossfire, every run asks whether your team has enough skill, courage, and teamwork to face down the worst the mean streets can throw at you.
