New player, any of the newer Data Packs I should get?

[JMichael 36]

I am hooked after just one solo learning game! I read the New Player Buying guide on reddit (wonderful work, btw) but it was last updated 8 months ago and mentions only 2.5 cycles released.

 

So other than, or instead of the four first recommendations there (Future Proof, True Colors, What Lies Ahead, Cyber Exodus) are there any of the newer data packs I should consider right away?

 

I have not yet picked factions, and right now will likely be supplying some friends to help them get into it.

Thank you,

Opening Moves for a big boost to the corporations. Creation and Control also has many, many, staple runner cards.

Thanks, seeing as how Opening Moves is soooo expensive (eBay and Amazon ~$70), is there any other Corp pack you would recommend?

Hey,

 

Started a poll on a similar subject on bgg a few days ago. I was also wondering about newer packs and it seems like reddit buyer's guide is not being updated anymore.

 

The poll does not go into data pack details, it's only to get an idea of the general appreciation of data packs.

 

So far, The Valley, Up and Over and Breaker Bay received a very good general appreciation. Note that the total number of voters is still fairly low (12 to 15).

I'll check my local store for Opening Moves tomorrow and let you know if they have it. If they do, I'll mail it to you for 15 USD plus shipping
