Bycatch
Bycatch is a card game about flawed surveillance, impossible decisions, and the people caught in between, for 3–5 players.
In Bycatch, each player controls a nation on the hunt for suspected terrorists. The players try to locate suspects hiding abroad using drone surveillance, and eliminate them using drone strikes. Meanwhile, they must shelter their citizens from the attacks of their opponents. Who will gather the most accurate intelligence and strike with the least collateral damage?
The game is a self-initiated project in collaboration with Brooklyn-based designer Subalekha Udayasankar.
