Description

What is Black Box?

Black Box is a single-player Tabletop Role-Playing Game (TTRPG) about hacking. It uses the Carta game system, and is designed to (fairly abstractly) simulate Black Box hacking--which is attempting to break into a network that you know almost nothing about going in. 

You can play it as a standalone, single-session game, or as part of a larger hacking campaign. It could also be played as part of a different TTRPG about hacking.  

You need:

  • Deck of cards with Jokers
  • Set of hobby dice
  • Journal or other way to record your progress
