Educational infographic about hacking game components, including trap cards, trace tracker cards, asset cards, code cards, and reference cards, with labels explaining type, level, security, and scoring features.

Objective:

Hack the Planet is a head to head game where you are competing to hack a computer server and gain the most renown. As you hack server nodes, be wary of traps and traces – gain too much trace and its game over.

On your turn you play 3 Code cards. Each card has a top, middle, and bottom command. Each command is more powerful than the one above it, and you can only use the top command of the first card, the middle command of the second card, and the bottom command of the last card.
