In the distant future, humanity is known for building the best Hyperspace Gateways and Mega-Starports in the known universe.However, not all have taken kindly to this. An alliance of those who resist the expansion plan to sabotage and destroy what humanity has built. In response, the U.N. established Project: HARDHAT as a joint military defense force and engineering core. Having just joined their ranks, you face one important question: are you ready to build the future?

Designer Notes

Project: HARDHAT is a send-up to the 2nd generation of the Heisei Era, where quirky, colorful gimmicks are stacked on top of a morally ambiguous plot. Ideas of colonization, civil rights, and human achievement are extremely prevalent throughout, while concepts concerning the fear of imperialism are questioned by each player through the roles they choose to play out.
