I love the concept for this one
In which I sat in my basement opening booster packs and complaining about artificial scarcity in card gaming
The third pint is really when the tesuji goes off the cliff for me #shogi #chess
They already made it it's called Shogi
Normalize playing games in public #thirdplace #shogi
I would die for that snail.
What a gigachad
I'm most impressed by how clean the names are on those bases! My hand writing at that scale is awful
Our GameFound will be rolling into collecting shipping info soon, there is still time to get in on the first wave of fulfillment with a late pledge! #gamefound #indiegames #crowdfunding
The more rules you have the more each one needs to justify it's existence. Too many rules thoughtlessly added is just noise and no signal.
๐ฝ Unboxing the first copy of Black Hats off the assembly line, take a look inside! ๐พ #cyberpunk #indiedev #indiegames #boardgames #tcg #cardgame
With the caveat that it takes the right group of gamers - Dune.
Black Hats isn't my first game, just the first one worth taking it all the way. 5 years of design, testing, redesign, then finding a pathway to self-publish.
These are the first 5 copies off the assembly line.
I'm so damn proud it's finally ready.

Look for local indie games marked as organic for the freshest mechanics #butlerianjihad #indiedev
"Use your best viruses to buy us time, we have to get into Plague's file and copy the worm."
#BlackHats was mostly designed to trick players into saying sentences as close as possible to dialog from Hackers(1995)
You have 20 slots in your cyberdeck, bring the best! #indiegames #tcg #hackers
Had a blasting making this one. An outrageously fast game of Black Hats. We may have forgotten to pull the older more broken version of some cards. ๐ #indiedev #indiegames #boardgames
Designing Black Hats exes was this for 3 years

p.s. the wombo combo potential on these cards is ๐ค
Word from @pandagm.com is Black Hats has entered mass production. Officially not vaporware! #indiedev #indiepublisher #indiegames
If you're a cyberpunk enthusiast of analogue games you know you want a copy for yourself: gamefound.com/en/projects/...
Year 2197: Post ww3 video games are now widely considered to have been a mistaken branch of game design, chess has been replaced with shogi world wide, and nature begins to heal
make stuff, if you want to
If you're like "Yo this account is always going on about black hats but what actually is it" here's a live play my wife and I recorded ๐ฉโ๐ปโค๏ธ๐จโ๐ป
"The funding goal displayed on Gamefound is symbolic" ๐คฎ
My Gamefound goal was extremely real. Lying to funders isn't a requisite of designing a successful campaign, even if it has become the norm for a lot of companies.
Stealing data not your thing? ๐ Check out jeffisepic
Their attack power is only 1, but they enhance your whole crew's power against runners in their subnet AND score you a bonus victory point if when that runner is disconnected via attack.
jeffisepic indeed #TCG #GameDev #IndieDev #CardGame
I think it was Carl Sagan who said if you want to make a game from scratch, you must first invent the solar system
HACK THE PLANET! Our first early review is here! Frank's Hobbies dives into Black Hats and shares his thoughts.
We are grateful he took the time to check us out! If you're a content creator in the board game space (or you know someone we should talk to) we are looking to send out more copies!
I found one when I was walking my dog one time just sitting on someone's lawn with FREE taped to it. Nothing beats the sound of a CRT turning on to my brain. Enjoy it, that's a beauty
