https://github.com/Karneades/awesome-security-card-games

Security card games (which are sometimes known as tabletop exercises) help train skills for various areas of security, let discuss technical topics while playing a game. It's useful to find these good security card games for training and awareness purposes.

The list is short but includes all the card games in the security area which I found over the last few years.

This requirement is meant to help make the Awesome project self-sustaining. Comment here which PRs you reviewed. You're expected to put a good effort into this and to be thorough. Look at previous PR reviews for inspiration. Just commenting “looks good” or simply marking the pull request as approved does not count! You have to actually point out mistakes or improvement suggestions.

• Non-generated Markdown file in a GitHub repo.
• The repo should have awesome-list & awesome as GitHub topics. I encourage you to add more relevant topics.
• Not a duplicate. Please search for existing submissions.
• Only has awesome items. Awesome lists are curations of the best, not everything.
• Does not contain items that are unmaintained, has archived repo, deprecated, or missing docs. If you really need to include such items, they should be in a separate Markdown file.
• Includes a project logo/illustration whenever possible.
  • Either centered, fullwidth, or placed at the top-right of the readme. (Example)
  • The image should link to the project website or any relevant website.
  • The image should be high-DPI. Set it to maximum half the width of the original image.
• Entries have a description, unless the title is descriptive enough by itself. It rarely is though.
• Includes the Awesome badge.
  • Should be placed on the right side of the readme heading.
    • Can be placed centered if the list has a centered graphics header.
  • Should link back to this list.
• Has a Table of Contents section.
  • Should be named Contents, not Table of Contents.
  • Should be the first section in the list.
  • Should only have one level of nested lists, preferably none.
  • Must not feature Contributing or Footnotes sections.
• Has an appropriate license.
  • We strongly recommend the CC0 license, but any Creative Commons license will work.
    • Tip: You can quickly add it to your repo by going to this URL: https://github.com/<user>/<repo>/community/license/new?branch=main&template=cc0-1.0 (replace <user> and <repo> accordingly).
  • A code license like MIT, BSD, Apache, GPL, etc, is not acceptable. Neither are WTFPL and Unlicense.
  • Place a file named license or LICENSE in the repo root with the license text.
  • Do not add the license name, text, or a Licence section to the readme. GitHub already shows the license name and link to the full text at the top of the repo.
  • To verify that you've read all the guidelines, please comment on your pull request with just the word unicorn.
• Has contribution guidelines.
  • The file should be named contributing.md. Casing is up to you.
  • It can optionally be linked from the readme in a dedicated section titled Contributing, positioned at the top or bottom of the main content.
  • The section should not appear in the Table of Contents.
• All non-important but necessary content (like extra copyright notices, hyperlinks to sources, pointers to expansive content, etc) should be grouped in a Footnotes section at the bottom of the readme. The section should not be present in the Table of Contents.
• Has consistent formatting and proper spelling/grammar.
  • The link and description are separated by a dash.
    Example: - [AVA](…) - JavaScript test runner.
  • The description starts with an uppercase character and ends with a period.
  • Consistent and correct naming. For example, Node.js, not NodeJS or node.js.
• Doesn't use hard-wrapping.
• Doesn't include a Travis badge.
  You can still use Travis for list linting, but the badge has no value in the readme.
• Doesn't include an Inspired by awesome-foo or Inspired by the Awesome project kinda link at the top of the readme. The Awesome badge is enough.

Go to the top and read it again.

Should be two sentences. And let => lets.

[Karneades]

Thanks, improved the phrase.

[vhladiienko]

Everything looks good now.

It might be worth creating a column for corporate sponsor of the game. ie. OWASP, Microsoft, Red Canary, etc.

Thanks for your comment. For me that's not needed to mention the "sponsor". I rarely seen that in any list, that resources are attributed. So for me it's uncommon to add such additional information.

Crypto Go - Crypto Go is an educational card game

The description should not repeat the title.

[sindresorhus]

There's currently very little content in the list.

Fixed that.

You are definitely right, unfortunately, there are not many card games and freely available table top exercises in the security area but the ones which are known to me and are of great value are found nevertheless in the list. EoP or Cornucopia are one of the prominent and older ones. I put another one in the list today for threat modeling. It's also hosted on GitHub and was published 2 month ago. A few commercial ones are found in the list provided under Various Resources and these commercial ones are not individually linked in the list.

Overall, the descriptions in the list need to be reworked: most of them are a little too long, with pointless information. For instance:

• Crypto Go: I don't think it's important to mention there are 108 cards in the deck.
• Crypto Against Humanity : The title is repeated is the description (which is very hard to understand by the way).
• Defensomania : The first sentence is enough.

Thanks for your feedback!

I went through the list, removed all the card numbers in the descriptions, made different descriptions shorter and removed the Crypto Against Humanity because its repo is outdated and not maintained anymore. Bad for the already short list, but it was not awesome anymore to have in the list.
