Their attack power is only 1, but they enhance your whole crew's power against runners in their subnet AND score you a bonus victory point if when that runner is disconnected via attack.

HACK THE PLANET! Our first early review is here! Frank's Hobbies dives into Black Hats and shares his thoughts.
We are grateful he took the time to check us out! If you're a content creator in the board game space (or you know someone we should talk to) we are looking to send out more copies!

After nearly a hundred demos, I can definitively say there are two kinds of new Black Hats players.
Hackers who build one gigantic hex highway, and players who want to turn every hex offline.
One of these groups overwhelmingly plays blue control decks in Magic. 🤔

Players asked for something between the starter decks and diving into making fully custom crews/decks.
Here's our answer: 4 more advanced crew lists ready to run out of the box, each with a unique playstyle backed by a net hardened cyberdeck.
Which would you pick?

That moment when you can activate a card to draw two but realize your deck literally does not have the out 😭
Testing the limits of how few hacking effects a combat focused deck can run and I...did not have enough.

Pre-production playmat just came in from Panda! Really couldn't be happier with them. Most hexes end up getting paved over by hacks in a real game with tokens, so having the smoother/grippier surface really does improve the play experience. And the art looks crisp af #IndieGameDev #BoardGames

We forgot to cut all the cool cards we designed to sell in expansion packs and there's a full playset for BOTH players so you only need to buy Black Hats ONCE. You get tons of options without paying us more. Woops!

Got this 1994 copy of MUMMY RUMMY in good condition at the local yard sale today for $1. The components look way different from the 30th anniversary edition and even the theming seems slightly changed.
