At the dawn of the SMC age the people were losing faith in an increasingly amoral society Mother was developed to emulate human thought & emotion to simulate human desires & aspirations to better understand the rapid decline in morality The citizens of Sapporo became the guinea-pigs for this technological experiment A series of city-wide neural implant programs dubbed “the harvests” enabled the gathering of data directly from a person’s cerebral cortex Mother’s neural net became more & more empowered by the collective thoughts of a city of souls She soon became her own master not just reading the minds of her citizens but controlling them Mother was in charge & the people were now her automatons Only a few the few who from fear mistrust or in protest avoided the harvests & remained untouched by Mother’s influence Like sewer rats they hide in an underground complex in Sapporo&s Susukino district While society at large became free from crime free from poverty free from emotion without free-will or faith from these few there came the criminals the bootleggers & the self-serving; the hungry the frightened & the “ Renegades” Renegade is an abstract-euro thematic deck-building game for 1 to 5 players You are a new breed of Decker
