In Server Breach, you will recruit a covert team of Hackers determined to take down the Corp — a shadowy network of corporate tyrants hellbent on destroying the world for profit. But for every Hacker you find willing to help the fight, the Corp will inevitably recruit their own. To win, you must control all Control Columns AND breach all Servers.
Each turn you will draw three cards and decide how best to deploy them. Do you fight for control of the Corp's Control Columns or do you attempt to breach a Server, satisfying 2‑ and 3‑card combos to unlock deeper layers of their network? With simple rules, quick setup and meaningful decisions every turn, Server Breach delivers a tense hacking experience in 15 minutes or less.
Fight for control of Control Columns by playing higher total card values or commit card combos to breach Servers. Balance offense and defense to stay ahead of the Corp.
Set up and get started in under two minutes. Each game of Server Breach lasts roughly 10-15 minutes.
All cards are designed to be printed on 7 double‑sided pages. Low-ink option available. Build your copy in just 15–30 minutes.

Still waiting to step up and try your hand at breaching some Servers? Here are some really nice things that other recruits have been saying after deciding to join the fight to take on the Corp:
“The game flows very well. The rules are easy to internalise which makes it a breeze to play. I also think the timing is just right.”
“I like this a lot. Creating a game that effectively uses a 'draw X cards and assign each to a different purpose' is IMHO pretty hard to get right, especially if you don't want the player to feel that they are at the whims of which cards come out when. But this is exactly what you did, you nailed it... This looks like a professional product.”
“I really enjoy playing Server Breach. It plays fast and it’s also quick to reset. I really like the draw-3-allocate-three mechanism… it leads to interesting decision making.”
“This is a great game… the core game is solid. Absolutely love it. The theme is spot on to the feeling of the game, and it has that ‘one more game’ element for sure.”
“Everything about this game is fantastic - it plays really well, it's really engaging with good control over the difficulty level, the rulebook is really clear and looks amazing.”
“This is a fantastic game that I would buy a published version of without a thought. I mean its got a bit of everything, but still keeps it very simple!”
“...it seems like all the replies to this one are like, 'This game is SO FANTASTIC!!!' So my curiosity has been piqued... I’ll echo the crowd and say, yes, this game is pretty fun :) At first I read the rules and was like, 'Is that it? Certainly that can't be it!' But with the simple ruleset, there are a lot of interesting options that open up.”
“I really like your design. It's a cool idea and all rules make sense within the theme. Your rulebook looks very professional. Iconography and graphic design are very well done. Kudos!”
“It's just really impressive and feels like a game I could have bought (and is better than some I have bought)… I played five times in a row - have I said it's good yet?”
“Wow, just wow. With the Run-Mode expansion you have taken server Breach to a whole new level! I loved it.”
“I've played officially published well-known games which have more unclarities and/or have a much tougher onboarding time than Server Breach. I echo the voices that hope this gets picked up by a publisher.”
“Thank you so much for this little gem. I've played it several times and I still enjoy it. Its simple rules and variety of servers to break into make it a great card game for in-between games or for a break.”
