Click here to learn more about this strategy boardgame and its Hybrid Media Universe

In the boardgame of Cell players' portray Corporations that build the Sprawl city with Sprawl Cells while fighting over control of those Cells by deploying Corporate Ronin and Hover-bikers. Neurohackers are also used by owning the Neuro-Net to provide advantage in battle and add points at the endgame. Control markers are used to convert ownership of Cells like in the game of Go.

There are four Sprawl-wide Events that can occur which include Terrorists Nuke, Mass Rioting, the Nemesis Mecha, and a Net Plague. There are also Black Market units that go to the highest bidder.

Earth 2045 A.D. The Story of Cell

Some say the holocaust was born in the bloody conflicts of the 21st century. Mass Corporations fought for market supremacy using armed soldiers and Neuronet hackers and the common person was devalued under shareholder rule. The robotic uprising was a reaction to this wayward capitalism... the Corporate War of the 2040s leading to communism.

Cell is a part of the Blak Universe which includes the narrated story of Micky Maus, Dirtgirl and the Blak Dragon space-tactical game. As well Blak includes the Neuronet, an animated news service set during the Corporate War.

This is a source of Hybrid Media Universes (HMUs) which creates and publishes interactive and narrated fun. This is sometimes called "fiction extension" where stories, comics and movies are based on games or vice-versa. However at Ghost Corp we develop the exciting character based fiction alongside the interactive gaming elements rather than as an afterthought. The fiction is a part of the game and the game is a part of the fiction.

We make full use of the internet to playtest our products through our Prime program and are very pleased Cell, a science-fiction card game, has been released as a PDF set. This game is part of the Blak Universe. Click here for more information on Cell.
