Hack!
A downloadable card game
Use specialized firewall modules in your network to defend your brain chip from attacks while taking out your opponent in this card game straight out of Faktoria, Vekari
This game is a printable zine with instructions to help you build up your firewall, plan your distributed module attacks, and break into your opponent's brain before the supply runs out. It plays similarly to solitaire and mancala!
It is a simple game often used in Faktorian bars, with patrons betting on who will win or lose. Some bars use decks with custom wild cards to mix things up.
Hack can be played with a regular deck of playing cards with the 10s and face cards removed, or with the Faktorian deck described in the zine using the second printable and cutting the cards out (the last card is the back on the sheet, so you may need to do some editing to print all the backs if you want them). You can play by yourself with the hands flipped face up as well for more of a puzzle challenge. I've never tried playing with more than 2 people, but you're welcome to.
You can also play in Tabletop Simulator by importing the included card sheet or subscribing to the mod I made: Play on Tabletop Simulator
EDIT: I will have to do some work on balancing the draw 2 wild because it's easy to win the game if you get more than half of them right now! Until I update this, you can try using the regular wild card as either a card that makes your opponent discard 2 cards, a card that lets you steal 1-2 cards from the top of their board's stack, or lets you steal 2 random cards from their hand. Happy playing!

This is an amazing card game. Definitely trust the process takes a few times to learn like any good game. I battled the creators in this game a few times and was defeated often but beat him once! I shall keep improving my skills in hack!!!
