About Malware Mayhem Hacker Duel: Chaos Edition, from BoardGameGeek:
Malware Mayhem Hacker Duel is a two-player face-off using a tower-defense style game must defend their high, medium and low value data which is placed into one of three systems. Each player also has one secret that can be moved between the systems as long as the data is still intact. The objective of the game is to capture the secret.
Each player builds cyberweapons including a botnet, trojans, and zero-day exploits that can be used to attack the opponent's systems. Each system can be defended by firewalls, anti-virus and intrusion detection systems. An attack consists of three phases: breaching the network perimeter, hacking the system, and then in a later turn attempting to capture the data and secrets.
Each hacker is assisted by an Agent who helps raise funds, restores disabled cyberweapons and defenses, or uses one of their unique special abilities (each agent has two) such as sending spam or initiating ransomware. Each hacker can employ up to two agents by hiring or firing from the pool of available agents.
The currency of the game is cryptocoins. The DarkWeb Marketplace allows weapons and defenses to be bought and stolen data to be sold.
The game includes two decks of cards which are used to collect resources and to perform special actions (or enhanced actions).
Malware Mayhem Hacker Duel, Chaos Edition features a hacker duel between the Genius supported by the Researcher agent and Anarchist hacker who is supported by the Prankster agent. Additional agents included in this set are the Vigilante and the Mafioso.
