We'll be crowdfunding a new Hard Wired Island thing later this year and I'll be including a new print run as a stretch goal!

The game's brain augments already say that many users will suffer side-effects in the long run. There aren't any specific mechanics for it because there are only a few of them (it's not something we wanted to focus on), and it would be difficult to do without running into that whole "cybernetics make you mentally ill" trope, which we're specifically trying to avoid.
I've love more typo reports! DM @HardWiredIsland on Twitter or email hardwiredisland at gmail.
French deck! Basically, everyone gets a hand of cards and works together to solve problems by playing cards with a total that's (hopefully) below a target number. Cards are played face-down and you can't say what you're playing, so it's possible to go over by accident. Playing a card by yourself is easier but never as good, and you can get more cards by roleplaying (including screwing yourself/other people over). The aim is to make it to the final challenge with a good enough hand to overcome it.
