General Info:

NetWar is an island in an ocean of card games -- a Kinetic Card Game centered around a netwar that rages over the World Wide Computing Cloud. Join Networks like Red or Blue for cyber-crime syndicate thrills, or idealistic White / Black Hat factions for law and order or total anarchy! The goal is to become the hacker who brings order to chaos -- or, if you're a Black Hat Ogre, total anarchy over the WWCC!

The game mechanics are designed so that it is possible to win the game with nothing more than a basic deck, even against a deck that's boosted to the max. Although the Stat Point Value (SPV) system will automatically keep the decks in balance for the players, the foundational design goal of the game is this: if someone wants to challenge the top deck with the most basic deck, they must have a reasonable chance to win the game. This is our response to the alarming trend of game supplements that throw the original mechanics of the game into imbalance, or even overwrite them completely by practically guaranteeing a win if a player possesses certain supplements. This defeats the purpose of gaming, by allowing a less-talented player to win against a real strategist.

One can argue that it is the same way in reality, where superior gear can tilt the balance in favor of a less-gifted combatant, but it is really not the same thing. It's like Kim Jong-Il bringing a nuke to a chess game. Gamers should not have to finance their arms race against each other in a hobby that is supposed to be mentally challenging and fun.
