Our game is officially on hiatus. We might come back, but right now, it's just not in the cards. If you are a fan of Zero Sum, please consider joining our team members in making donations to the funds and organizations listed here: blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/ #BlackLivesMatter
One of #TechNet’s most powerful Covert Ops, this card is available for cross-faction #deckbuilding. badcaptaingames.tumblr.com/p…

Another of Anacron’s many tricks, Link allows for easy deck shuffling and cheap reinforcements... assuming you don’t get hit by a suspicious opponent’s Covert Op!

Remember the banner image for our first convention #TempleCon? It's still our idea for #ZeroSum 2.0: Stark worlds posing dangerous challenges: harsh weather, vicious wildlife, a lure of the past, a reminder that even the humans of tomorrow must forever strive to be better people.

Signature cards like this drone can form a key part of TechNet’s military strategy, and they’re not for sale at any price to cross-corporation deck builders.

One of Anacron’s more expensive Covert Ops, this card can also be used in cross-corporation deck-building, making it a lucrative buy for aspiring TechNet or Nishka agents.
Some TechNet units have the ability to repair themselves, for a modest materials fee.
Glory allows you to swap the attack and defense of any Unit you choose, for a modest price. Best used to turn a glass cannon into a tank, or vice versa.

Cheap tactics allow for quick maneuvers when conditions change. Every deck has them, but draw boosts like this one are a bit more common in Anacron’s subtle yet effective base deck.

What’s on your new year’s to do list? We’ve got another design pass to make, another editing round on our rulebook, and flavor text to write for a bunch of redesigned cards.

Happy new year, friends! Our resolution: to Kickstart #ZeroSum 2.0. We know it’s been a long wait, but we are so grateful for your support. Enjoy a safe and happy new year from all of us at Bad Captain. Thank you!

Telepathic cave bears?! No one mentioned this in the travel brochure: badcaptaingames.tumblr.com/p… #ZeroSum #indiedev #indiescifi
Some Crisis cards freeze corporation card types, preventing players from using some of their cards as long as the Crisis remains in play. You can use this as a tool to slow down your enemies, assuming it doesn’t negatively impact your own progress…

Units which combine more than one role are highly desirable, offering greater flexibility when claiming crises. But that flexibility comes with a cost: they can also be targeted by cards which affect either role.
Crises which require a single role to solve are now more lucrative, offering new options for role specialists: badcaptaingames.tumblr.com/p…
The most lucrative Crisis cards have an expiration date. Can you claim them? badcaptaingames.tumblr.com/p…
Zero-prestige Crisis cards offer useful diversions for players quick enough to claim them: badcaptaingames.tumblr.com/p…

Split Crisis cards can be solved by more than one game role, offering new strategies for different play styles: badcaptaingames.tumblr.com/p…
