![Too Many Captains (And Not Enough Wire) [alt.ctrl.gdc 2018]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/swNE4XO259Q/mqdefault.jpg "Too Many Captains (And Not Enough Wire) [alt.ctrl.gdc 2018]
At the alt.ctrl showcase at GDC 2018, Avi Romanoff talks to Maker Project Lab about the game Too Many Captains (And Not Enough Wire) he co-created with Giada Sun.
The team describes it as: A game where two or more players work together to pilot a spaceship through outer space. The engineer has the controller, and they plug colored wires into panels on the game’s controller. However, the engineer can’t see the screen — they need to rely on the other players, the captains — to guide them to victory.
You can learn more about the game here: https://vimeo.com/245489360
