Knights of the Dinner Table: HACK! (2001)

About this game

This game consists of four unique character decks and 1 game master deck. It can be played with just two character decks or 1 to 4 character decks and a game master deck. The goal for the characters is to escape from the Tomb of Vectra. The game master's goal is to kill the characters. Each deck has a number of rooms, items, monsters, npcs, traps and rule changes. Characters generally try to foil each other's escape. The game is somewhat similar to Abduction, another great game by Eden Studios, but definitely also very different.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.8/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
