Exploits - A Hacker's Card Game

Exploits is a card game that takes players into the exciting world of cyber security. Players play both as a hacker, using exploits to run payloads through to an opponents server, and as the defender, keeping your own firewall as secure as possible.

Be warned though, you won't have time to do both!

The game focuses around how cyber attacks are developed . Each player has a set of target servers, protected by a firewall that slowly grows vulnerabilities over time. You will spend your resources examining your opponent's firewall as well as cleaning your own. Then, when you find a critical vulnerability, you can exploit it and deliver a payload to steal data, vandalize websites, create botnets, and most importantly, score points!

Here is some praise from playtesters: "Clever and well written mechanics." "Plays in a perfect amount of time." "Feels like actual hacking."* "I can't wait to share this project!"

In today's world, cyber crime is a daily issue, and while this game will by no means make you an expert, it will serve as an excellent gateway into the world of cyber security.
