Description

Get ready to dive into the world of cybercrime with Hacker, a card game that's all about outsmarting your opponents and gaining control of the "Net". Inspired by real-life events, this game is easy to learn and plays similarly to Illuminati, but with a twist. Players work together to build the "Net", playing cards to expand its reach and break into systems to gain root access. With 2 to 6 players competing over 120 minutes, the game is full of twists and turns. Upgrade your hacking tools, make deals with other players, and use your skills to outmaneuver your opponents. But watch out for ICE and law enforcement raids, which can throw a wrench in your plans. The goal is to gain the most root access sites and emerge victorious. First released in 1992, Hacker has been expanded and re-implemented over the years, but the core gameplay remains just as thrilling.
