About the Game

Pop some friendships in this game bursting with deception and urgency! Your goal is simple: don’t let your bubble deflate or pop. But that’s easier said than done, bub.

Sorry to... BYB is a two-player physical card game about maintaining your bubble. You use the cards you have to control your bubble. If all your bubbles burst or deflate, it's game over for you!

Print this game, get away from the screen, grab a friend, and go burst their bubbles!

How to Play

1. Draw Phase: Draw your cards and take a look at them.
2. Discard Phase: Bring the card count down, and throw the cards you think you don't need.
3. Play Phase: Play your cards to maintain your bubble... or don't. Or lie about them... it's all your choice!

We recommend reading the game's handbook that come with the Game Files.

Important Notes

This is a physical board/card game, which means you'll need to print the cards to play them. The game files are loaded with the game's handbook, and print-and-play card images.

As Itch.io flags new accounts with suspicious/bot-like activity, you might receive a bot/spam account warning when downloading the game's files. Don't worry, they're not a bot. In fact, they're the meatbag partly responsible for the game's bubbly arithmancy!
