Competitive Backdoors & Breaches
The adversarial, fast-paced version of the classic incident response card game by Black Hills Information Security.
Turn Incident Response Into a Tournament
Competitive Backdoors & Breaches adds a head-to-head, resource-driven twist to the original B&B game. Players race to complete their cyber kill chain while sabotaging opponents, defending their network, and managing limited resources.
Use it to:
- Level up cyber defense teams
- Run red vs. blue exercises
- Spice up security training events
- Teach classes and student clubs

2️⃣ Manage Your Resources
Resource Points (RP) fuel everything you do: attack, defense, special abilities, and recovery.
3️⃣ Sabotage Opponents
Play traps, impose setbacks, and disrupt their carefully crafted plans. No one is safe.

The first player to deplete their opponents’ resources and complete their kill chain wins.
