Shadowrun: Sprawl Ops

About this board game

Shadowrun: Sprawl Ops is a competitive cyberpunk worker-placement game for 2–4 players, playable in about 90 minutes. Each player leads a team of Shadow Runners through missions, upgrades, and high-stakes decisions in a race to complete one final mission.

Send your runners on missions to earn creds, then invest those earnings in more experienced team members and better gear. You can also loan runners to other players for a fee, creating another way to make use of your team while profiting from the demands of the sprawl.

Missions are resolved by rolling combinations of custom dice. A diverse group of Shadow Runners gives you access to more combinations, while upgrades add even more dice to your pool. Building the right team and improving its equipment can make the difference when tougher opportunities appear.

• Competitive play for 2–4 players
• Approximately 90 minutes of play time
• Worker placement and custom-dice mission resolution
• Runner upgrades, equipment, and paid runner loans
• A final mission that determines the winner

Begin with smaller missions and use their rewards to strengthen your operation. When you believe your crew is ready, send your runners to attempt the final mission and collect the last big score. Failure does not necessarily end your run: doc-wagon contracts keep your runners in the game.

The first player to successfully complete the final mission and collect that score wins. Released in 2019, Shadowrun: Sprawl Ops combines crew development, dice-driven missions, and competitive timing into a focused race for the ultimate payout.
