The Matrix Empire

In the 21xx era, eight technology mega-corporations control the world’s economic lifelines, and information has become more valuable than gold. One corporation seeks to break the current balance of power and hires you to infiltrate the systems of rival companies to obtain their trade secrets. Time is limited—you must crack their servers as quickly as possible and secure the critical data that could change the world. The Matrix Empire (矩阵帝国) is a solo puzzle board game centered on resource building. Within a limited number of rounds, players use computing power dice to hack into the servers of rival corporations. The game features eight different variable player powers and three difficulty levels. By allocating computing power efficiently, players first infiltrate subservers to build up resources, then strike at the main servers at the right moment to complete their mission. —description from the publisher This game is part of the first edition of the 9 Cards series.
