Null State: Terminal 01

NULL STATE: TERMINAL 01

Welcome to the Terminal. When systems collapse, morality is a liability: only control and notoriety remain. Build custom memory stacks, drop malicious rootkits under high-value server nodes, and hijack rival hacks in real time. Claim your fame on the public blockchain, or get purged from the system.

• Players: 1-4 | Time: 45-90 min | Ages: 14+

You're racing to infiltrate critical infrastructure, build your hacker reputation with Fame from successful Hacks, and stack your Blockchain ledger so it pays off when dynamic macroeconomic markets are scored.

3 CORE PILLARS OF GAMEPLAY

• 1. Build Memory Stacks: Scan the network for data fragments and compile cards into 3 dedicated memory registers.
• 2. Infiltrate Server Nodes: Breach target Locations across 4 city districts to place Control Cubes and claim Fame or Market rewards.
• 3. Manipulate the Macro-Economy: Shift global market tracks and bank cards into your permanent Blockchain ledger to maximize end-game crypto multiplier payouts.

HOW TO PLAY // 9 TACTICAL ACTIONS

On your turn, execute exactly 1 action:

• Scan (Network Draw): Draw data cards equal to the Network Scan Die (1-6, max 7 in hand).
• Program (Memory Assembly): Compile 1 data card into a memory register, or hot-swap an active slot.
• Discard Stack (Cache Flush): Flush an active memory register to clear space for new exploits.
• Hack (Node Infiltration): Breach a location using a matching memory stack to place a control cube & claim instant rewards!

• Trade (Market Acquisition): Buy Black (Offense), Grey (Tactics), or White (Defense) Hat upgrades based on dynamic track pricing (2/4/6 Scripts).
