Hi Guys,

The expansions introduce a lot of new card traits such as 'Double', 'Ilicit' and 'Mythical'. I can work out the gist of these traits but are they all officially explained anywhere? I had a look in the latest FAQ but couldn't see anything there. The leaflets that come with the expansions don't explain them either.

Am I being daft, are they written somewhere and I've just missed them?

As opposed to traits, in Netrunner they're known as Subtypes. They aren't explained, because they don't DO anything by themselves. They're only important when referenced by other cards.

Typically card with these sub-types will tag a particular effect but as CommissarFeesh says, it only really matters when other cards refer to them.

So illicit ICE refers to ICE that tends to give the corp a bad pub when they are rezzed. This is always documented on the card and if it didn't say that it gave Bad Pub, then it wouldn't - it would just be illicit.
