About this deal

To activate surfacing, the captain announces “SURFACE” which leaves you vulnerable for some time because the enemy gets to know which sector, you’re in.

Then both Captains shout "DIVE" to signal the start of the game. Each captain announces the course of his submarine and draws the route on the map on his sheet. In turn-by-turn mode, randomly determine a team to take the first turn. Announcing A Course When all spaces on a gauge are marked, the First Mate announces it loudly and clearly. For example, an announcement of "MINE READY" lets the Captain know that he can drop a mine when he needs it. At the top of the First Mate's sheet are four damage spaces representing the 4 damage a submarine can sustain. Each time the enemy Captain announces a course, the Radio Operator draws it on his transparent sheet (beginning anywhere, since he does not know the enemy's starting location).But I do have to admit, as much as I can rave about the game, the excitement does wear off after some time. The first few games are a thrill ride, but that glow fades. Aside from the Captain, the roles are pretty straightforward, and there’s not as much to explore as far as strategy goes. The First Mate pretty much does what the Captain tells them to do. The Engineer has a bit of a mini-game, but it’s not particularly deep. The Radio Operator has a unique challenge, but they’re almost off playing their own game. The more you play, the more the simplicity of these roles reveal themselves. Turn-based (top) vs real-time boards.

Az első tiszt előtt ott a tengeralattjáró teljes eszközkészlete: torpedó, akna (támadáshoz), drón és szonár (az ellenfél hatékony felkutatásához), valamint a lopakodó üzemmód és egy speciális műszer, ami forgatókönyvenként változik. A dobozban öt különböző térképet találtok, mindegyikhez egy-egy forgatókönyv tartozik. Az egyes forgatókönyvek nem egyszer játszósak. If one of the four quadrants on the engineer’s board fills up completely, the submarine suffers one damage. After four points of damage, it’s destroyed. Circuits linked together can self-repair when all the corresponding symbols are crossed out. Then the engineer will erase all the breakdown marks on the sheet.The First Mate is in charge of the sub’s systems. Each time the Captain decides to move, the FM is allowed to charge up a weapon (like a torpedo or mine) or tool (sonar, drones, etc). After enough moves these devices become ready to use, and the FM can let the Captain know. You might get more mileage with your own house rules – say, forcing people to change up their roles in the middle of a game, or adding other weird restrictions or challenges.
