About the game

What you do in a play session

White Hat casts you as a hacker eager to prove your skill against the world’s toughest digital defenses. Instead of simply playing cards, you must win tricks to move your hats across a modular board full of FBI servers, internet cafés, and digital tracers. Each trick won gives you a chance to push a hat toward the Critical Asset, but the race to the finish isn’t so straightforward: the final position of each hat determines the score, and the lowest score wins. The game offers solo and two‑player modes, as well as support for 1 to 6 players, with games lasting between 30 and 45 minutes. The trick‑taking mechanic is enriched by area‑movement, variable setup, and gameplay that requires constant attention to the cards in hand and the ever‑changing map. If you enjoy strategic challenges with a sci‑fi twist, White Hat delivers fast, tense games full of twists that will make you think twice before moving your hat.
