POST TRAUMATIC SYSTEM DISORDER

TERMINAL 01

2–6 players ~1 hr Rules

You’re in the terminal — dark nets, data streams, high-stakes targets.

Scan the network, stack exploits, hit locations before the rest do.

Disrupt markets, harden positions, plant intel.

Win with fame from hacks and end-game data value on the blockchain.

Coming to Kickstarter — a physical card game you can hold.

This game literally compiles itself from scripts —

boards, data decks, and locations are auto-generated

from our build system. It’s like it’s self-aware.

Our goal is to open-source the whole game and build pipeline

so anyone can hack, share, and remix decks globally — and see

who becomes the most notorious hacker on the planet.

Interactive Card Anatomy Inspector

Click a card field to inspect what those technical markers mean during active operations:

Required Memory Fragments (Locations)

Each Location Card lists a specific combination of intelligence fragment types (e.g., *AI Intelligence*, *Government Intelligence*) and a required total suit value. To pull off a successful **HACK**, a player's memory stack must match these precise inputs.

Fame Rewards (Locations & Cards)

Fame is your baseline score. Successfully hacking a location grants you Fame points instantly. However, Fame is only scored if you maintain **full control** of that location (holding more control markers than any other competitor) by the end of the game.

SYSM Payload Values (Data Fragments)

Data cards contain varying amounts of **SYSM** payload units. When you commit cards to your public **Blockchain**, their SYSM weight is multiplied by the corresponding market value at the end of the game. High SYSM cards are highly sought-after.

Proof of Exploit QR Code (Double-Sided)

The card backs feature unique, game-compiled QR codes. Backers can scan these QR codes on physical print-and-play cards to verify their successful exploits digitally and share their legendary scores on the online leaderboard! This hybrid feature is fully optional.
