Read the full game description
Deckers is a heavy cooperative network-hacking game for one to four players. A modular system of five servers is controlled by one of seven distinct Super-Massive Computers, while each player pilots an asymmetric Decker profile with a personal command deck. Across three turns per Decker, cards provide the commands used to move, install and upload programs, shift hostile pieces, modify code, upgrade the deck, and infect defended spaces. Sparks spread and combine into guardians, captured programs weaken the team, and the SMC attacks and advances its own plan after the players act. A fresh objective shapes every round, asking the team to coordinate position, card timing, colors, and shared infrastructure. Complete the final objective to overthrow the machine; allow the defenses or objective pressure to overwhelm the network and every Decker loses together.
