HacKClaD

About this board game

HacKClaD is a strategic game for 1–4 players that plays in about 120 minutes. You take control of a witch with the power of future sight, facing monsters known as the Clad while competing for fame and valuable magic stones.

The Clad have brought devastation upon humanity, but defeating them offers a vital reward. Complete missions and deal damage to the monsters to gather magic stones, while seeking the highest score by the end of the game.

Each player uses a personal deck of cards that can be upgraded whenever the deck cycles through. On your turn, draw cards until you have a hand of three, then play them to maneuver your witch around the board, attack the Clad, or use other effects.

Planning is especially important because the Clad’s three attacks for each round are always visible in advance. Players draft for turn order and act between the boss’s turns, making it essential to anticipate where the Clad will move and which attacks will occur before choosing your actions.

• Build your deck: Upgrade your personal cards as you cycle through them.
• Read the future: Plan around the Clad’s revealed attacks and movement.
• Gather rewards: Each point of damage dealt to the Clad earns a magic stone.
• Race to the finish: After nine rounds, victory points from magic stones and cards in your deck determine the winner.

With open information about incoming attacks and competition over turn order, HacKClaD challenges witches to coordinate movement, attacks, missions, and deck upgrades across a tense nine-round battle.
