Board Game Geek Reviews


  1. 7 out of 10

    A most interesting trick taking game, where timing of trick wins and board position are important. Creative design which successfully allows players who are behind on board advancement and/or don't win many tricks can be competitive.

  2. 10 out of 10

    This is the best trick-taking game I've ever played. Players are hackers infiltrating a system (the game board) and in order to advance on the board they have to beat other players by being better hackers (so, by winning tricks with their cards). The game-changer is the Black Hat card that inverts the trick and makes the lowest card(s) win the trick. The game is premium quality and a beautiful combination of board game and trick taking game with a lot of strategy and tactical moves (because sometimes you DON'T want to win the trick). The game is not complicated and works well as a family game. Recommended.

  3. 5 out of 10

    I really love the concept of the game: using trick-taking/ladder climbing as a way to actually do something on the board, but I feel the excecution of that mechanic is just not quiet as good as I want it to be, so in the end this one seemed a bit disappointing just because I expected more from it.

Information wants to be free, but you charge by the hour…

In the world of network security, a “black hat” is a hacker who defeats computer systems for personal gain. These rogue data jockeys pit themselves against the most secure systems in the world for the thrill of it (and maybe to make a little money on the side). However, the most skilled hackers know it’s not about getting there first; it’s about ghosting in and out of the system without leaving a trace.

Black Hat is a hacker-themed, climbing trick-taking board game for 2-6 players. While trick-taking is the main mechanism used in the game, you can win the game even if you win only a few tricks — as long as you win the ones that makes the most for your game. Black Hat features a random and evolving game board that players progress through during the game, and while that progress helps you toward victory, the first player to finish doesn’t necessarily win.

Black Hat allows wide variety of game play strategies to be applied, none of them clearly superior over another, as you have to adapt to situation.
