Hit the Silk!

About this board game

Hit the Silk! is a semi-cooperative game for 3–6 players, played in approximately 45 minutes. Work together to locate the target cash while pursuing your own chance of survival: securing a parachute before the plane reaches the ground.

The heist has gone catastrophically wrong. The pilot has seized a gun, damaged the engine, opened the emergency door, and escaped with a parachute and a spare. Now the remaining players must search a rapidly descending plane for the loot and the limited parachutes while deciding who can be trusted.

Each turn, the altimeter drops another 500 feet. Players can search the plane for useful equipment, trade items from their inventories, and play speculative actions as they try to secure a parachute or a briefcase of cash.

• Search the plane for equipment and parachutes.
• Trade from your inventory to make deals or secure what you need.
• Use handcuffs, poison, or a revolver when negotiation fails.
• Form alliances and seek a majority vote before jumping.

With the ground approaching fast, every agreement is fragile and every player has a reason to keep their options open. Tense standoffs, desperate bargains, and double crosses can shape the final moments as you decide whether cooperation is safer than betrayal.

To win Hit the Silk!, you must have a parachute and sufficient cash between the players when you hit the silk. The team needs the money, but each individual must also stay alive—making every search, trade, and alliance matter.
