The Elevation of Privilege (EoP) card game transforms threat modeling into a fun, interactive, and collaborative experience, helping development teams spot potential security risks early in the design phase.

Created by Adam Shostack, EoP organises 78 threats into six intuitive suits based on the STRIDE framework: Spoofing, Tampering, Repudiation, Information Disclosure, Denial of Service, and Elevation of Privilege, making threat modeling approachable for everyone, even those without any security expertise.

Set the stage

Before dealing, sketch a simple diagram of the system on a whiteboard, paper, or digital tool, just enough to show key components and data flows.
Deal the cards

Shuffle the deck and deal all the cards to 3-6 players. Each player organizes their hand by suit (but no peeking at your neighbour’s cards!).
Let the game begin

The player with the 2 of Tampering starts. Read your card and explain how the threat could affect the system.
Winning

Players take turns with the threats in that suit, with the highest card winning the round. The winner leads the next
round until all cards are played.
