Board Game Geek Reviews


  1. 3 out of 10

    Really wanted to like this game as I'm fascinated with games that mash up trick taking with a board. I don't mind the dumbed-down Asshole-like card play; because it's combined with a board game, the card play should be simpler so that the overall game moves faster. I do like how the special Black Hat card works ... it's a very powerful card that's dangerous to reuse too long. Also, it gives some value to the low cards as this is the only way to win the Black Hat card. However, the hugest flaw with this game, and what made it torture is that you have to win tricks to do anything on the board, which is by far the most interesting part of the game. So if you're stuck with only middling cards, you will be mindlessly playing cards with no consequence to yourself or to any other player.

    Backed on Kickstarter. Basic idea of the game is very nice - but after few plays i find some rules weird. Not a hit i was hoping for. Traded away.

    This claims to be a trick taking game. Our first play was unsatisfying. The board does not fit together with the card play.

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.
