To differentiate it from various other hacking-based decks on this site, this deck draws much of its flavor from the 1995 movie Hackers. This is, however, just a jumping-off point to designing many other hacks that were not shown in the movie.
Card Types
Hacker - Each player chooses one at the start of the game.
Hack - Acts of computer chicanery. Each hack has at least one keyword, representing the possible motivation behind the hack:
- Money
- Prestige
- Dominance
- Boredom
- Revenge
Each Hack also has a score.
Action - Takes place in the real world rather than cyberspace.
Turns
1. Draw until hand has 7 cards.
2. Play up to two hacks and one action.
Winning
To win, your total Hacks must be over 50 points.
Cards
