CTF

A game of CTF in progress, using early prototype components

A micro-TCG about a friendly hacking competition
2 players • 15ish minutes

CTF is a micro-TCG: decks are nine cards each, and starter packs contain two of them, fully playable. Some of the 91 unique cards are only available in randomized 6-card boosters, which can be used to customize decks.

A small print run was available at PAX West 2025, but a free print-and-play version is available via the deck builder on ctftcg.com.

Each player takes on the role of a team of hackers competing in a friendly Capture the Flag event. They’ll advance through the layers of their opponent’s security and break down barriers to expose their secrets. Turns are simultaneous, and bluffing is critically important. Games take around 15 minutes.
