A setting by Fantasy Flight Games originally started in 2007. It consists of tabletop game Android, Android: Infiltration and the reboot of the Netrunner card game. Has spawned several series of novels, each fleshing out a portion of the Android universe.Set in a cyberpunk future where Mega Corporations run things, clones and androids are considered less than humans, and a giant space elevator ties the moon down to Earth. Setting is currently based around the city of New Angeles where the base of the space elevator is built. Other notable locations include Moon colony of Heinlein and city grid SanSan among others. Although it may appear overly oppressive with large Megacorp controlling all aspects of life, it has themes of idealism such as Caprice Nisei the first clone to be awarded rights and a setting where ordinary people, Runners, can attempt to disrupt the Agendas of said Megacorps.In the original Adventure Board Game Android, a murder has occurred, and five detectives are working to find out who did it. A game with many mechanics, there are personal stories for each detective to make a rich story with lots of replayability.Netrunner is an asymmetrical card game where one player play the role of a Megacorp, (Haas Bioroid, Jinteki, NBN or Weyland Consortium) and the other plays the role of hacker of varying factions and ideologies. Both sides compete to score Agenda cards.There is also a board game called Mainframe, in which six runners, also playable in Netrunner, are hacking into a Titan bank server to steal as many credits as possible. Players take turns drawing cards with shapes on them, and producing those shapes on the playing field with the goal of enclosing as much territory for themselves as possible. A new board game, called New Angeles was announced August 2016, in which players play exclusively as the Corps of the world of Android, trying to advance their agendas while coping with civil unrest.The Roleplaying Game of the setting, Shadow of the Beanstalk, was released by Fantasy Flight Games in April 2019 and uses the company's own Genesys roleplaying system.The franchise currently has five novels: Free Fall Identity Part 1 - Golem Identity Part 2 - Mimic Identity Part 3 - Rebel Strange FleshCMON published Graphic Novel Android: Run The Citadel with accompanying miniatures for the second volume of CMON comics.Unrelated to the mobile operating system. | |

Cursed with Awesome | |
| Android (Tabletop Game) / int_309b8806 | comment |
Cursed with Awesome: Caprice's psychic powers give her an edge in solving the murder and revealing the conspiracy (and allow her player to look at their opponents' cards under certain circumstances), but they're also unstable, and put serious stress on her sanity, which her opponents can exploit for their own gain. | |

Androids Are People, Too: Haas-Bioroid's official line. The Humanity First group disagrees. In this setting, clones can be classified as androids sometimes. Similar issues arise with both groups. | |

Mega City | |
| Android (Tabletop Game) / int_aa8db5e2 | comment |
Mega City: New Angeles is physically enormous, covering approximately 62000 square kilometres and stretching all the way up into space. It offers plenty of places to explore, with all the businesses, services, and private residences its 500 million official residents require. It may also house as many as 500 million uncounted beings, including off-gridders, androids, and those simply too poor to own an ID. | |

Space Elevator | |
| Android (Tabletop Game) / int_ee13f24f | comment |
Space Elevator: Stretching seventy thousand kilometres from Earth's surface into geocentric orbit, the New Angeles Space Elevator, colloquially known as the Beanstalk, was envisioned by Jack Weyland as a way to make travelling into Earth's orbit easier and cheaper than expensive, finicky and inefficient chemical rockets. Workers, colonists, tourists and materiel travel daily up to the Castle at the end of the Beanstalk and beyond to Luna and Mars, while raw materials, including the precious and expensive helium-3 isotope, come down. | |
