About the game

Created by Mike Novack, Byte Club is a strategic card game where you learn the Cyber Kill Chain and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework while racing to defend yourself and attack your opponents.

Byte Club is ideal for family game nights, workshops, or conferences, transforming cybersecurity into a fun and accessible experience for everyone.

72 cards

Designed for 2-4 players aged 13 and up, this is a fast-paced cybersecurity card game where players compete to capture the data flag by outsmarting their opponents. It has the fast feel of a party card game like Exploding Kittens, where you’re deploying real-world attack and defence tactics based on the NIST Cybersecurity framework and the Cyber Kill Chain. 

The aim is to outmanoeuvre other players, protect your own position and ultimately capture the data flag before anyone else. The result is a dynamic, highly replayable experience that blends competitive gameplay with building awareness of key cybersecurity concepts.

Facilitate a Cybersecurity Awareness Workshop using Byte Club

Use Byte Club to turn cybersecurity awareness concepts into something people can actively explore and discuss. Players experience the attacker-versus-defender dynamic, explore the Cyber Kill Chain and use the game outcome to discuss detection, response and real-world security.
