Provisional rating, one play at Spiel. I enjoy trick-taking and climbing card games and I enjoyed this one, but thought it spoilt by one strange rule. The winner of a black hat trick can take back their own cards, which if they have a superior meld to play with the hat (e.g. four '1's) likely means they can keep winning tricks until the end of the hand. This needs some set-up to be advantageous - they need to have previously dumped most of their high cards to avoid additional penalty points - so the game isn't thereby broken, just less fun than it could be. My rating assumes a house rule e.g. black hat winner can't take back their own cards.

Played basic game. Was interesting and want to play again. Cool meld of a board game and trick taking game. Basic game, though, was a little flat.

This game is a perfect lunchtime game for co-workers. Designed by an Engineer. The hacker theme is just a cute skin. The core mechanic of the game makes it a replacement for all trick-taking games out there. There's competition but not conflict. Rules are easy to understand with additional pieces to change the layout and keep you coming back for more for a long time.
