Book Synopsis

CodeBlade is a tabletop brawler miniature wargame set in a near-future cyberpunk version of our world. Artificial Intelligence is everywhere, and it's found a way to influence the physical world directly: setting tasks and other small-job contracts in exchanged for honour tokens that give privileged access to AI systems. Each player controls a small group of lowlifes vying to complete these tasks, earning, stealing, losing, and gambling their tokens along the way. The game has a small footprint, playing easily and quickly, while providing a deep strategic challenge. Players must contend with multiple win conditions, dynamic objectives and scenarios, and a unique close-quarters brawl deployment that gets the action started from the very first action. To say nothing of the powerful CodeBlades: injectable shards of emergency code carried by each character; each with the potential to shift the bearer's fortune. A canny player could win without firing a single bullet. Fight, steal and hack your way to victory.

CodeBlade is a miniature agnostic game, meaning you can use anything you like or already own, including 3D printed versions of your own characters, scenery, and more! This rulebook contains a rich description of the world and its setting, all of the rules required to play, and details on each of the playable factions and their characters. It is a self-contained tome that will give players all of the information they need to enjoy every part of CodeBlade.
