About the game

What you do in a play session

In Deeptown, you step into the shoes of a hacker in a science fiction universe inspired by a book trilogy. The goal is to breach security programs and, hopefully, reach the protected servers. To achieve this, you'll deploy your anti-viruses and combat programs, but watch out! Viruses lurk on the battlefield, ready to thwart your plans and hinder your access to targets. Each server you successfully 'crack' earns you points, and the first hacker to reach 12 points claims victory. The game features a modular board, ensuring a unique setup for every playthrough, and movement across the game field happens from point to point. Card and action selection is handled through open drafting, and dice rolling adds an element of chance. It's a game that blends strategy with a touch of unpredictability, ideal for those who enjoy digital intrusion themes and a good challenge.
