Overview
CXIN is everything, you are nothing. The contract is already signed, failure may lead to termination of your job (and possibly more).
Draft your unique teams. Take turns to locate, manipulate and download hidden data packs scattered across the table. Outwit rivals by placing bets. Then, the most daring must let their memory guide them to victory by revealing the betted amount of data cards, or die trying.

How to play
The beat
1
Deplete all opponents' CXINs to win.
All cards are placed face-down on the table. It’s your challenge to remember what you’ve seen.
2
On your turn, choose to either search for data cards or place a bet on how many you think you can find.
Opponents can raise your bet, and the highest bidder earns the right to hack.
-
The hacker flips over cards on the table until they reach their bet or encounter a trap.
-
If they succeed, all opponents must pay up. If they fail, the hacker is the one who pays.

Variation
You can play it in 10 minutes, or for hours. With 2 players or 6. With gamers, or with people who has never held a card. With 4 distinct game modes, CXIN will feel fresh for years to come regardless who you play with.
Memory gambling
Some cards are dangerous, some highly valuable, and some require precise positioning to unlock their potential. With each character and shifting board state, your strategy will need to adapt.

A taste of what's inside
The physical world is merely a fading backdrop to the true battlefield: the net; a living, breathing entity - it echoes with the sins of those who seek to control its vast, uncharted depths. It's where the cyber wars are raging on as the unaware go on about their everyday lives, where empires rise and fall in the shadows, and where the border between life and death is as thin as a line of code
