I was quite happy to see that the game comes with a lot of additional pens and erasers and not just the bare minimum needed as I very often see in other games. Every player is in fact both focused on doing “the right choice” on their own board while keeping an eye on what the rest of the crew is doing.

She’s also responsible for coordinating with the others and determining when to activate the various systems and where. That’s down to the teamwork required, of course, but it’s also down to the kind of teamwork Captain Sonar requires. 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. The First Mate charges up all the systems for use – each time the sub moves, he can mark off a box on any system he chooses.The idea behind the Expert cards is a good one, the maps are solid, and the new types of engines and hulls add variety to the game. The genre of team-based strategy games is far under-explored, and I think the excitement of Captain Sonar proves this.

I want to get there, but it’s hard to gather enough people and to have enough people who wish to master the game like I do! Cleverly, the game gives them a clear dry-erase surface on which to mark this so they can move it around over the map and try to figure out where they possibly could be. De az egyes rendszerek már egy iksztől is leállnak, így a mérnöknek okosan kell egyensúlyoznia, hogy a megfelelő rendszereket a megfelelő pillanatban aktiválni lehessen, ugyanakkor a jármű se tegye fel a kezét egyhamar.

The Captain only needs to wait until her First Mate and Engineer have made their marks and shouted “Okay! Using a clear plastic sheet and a marker, they try to plot possible locations and avenues for attack.

From the image above, place the screens in between the players at the center of the table end-to-end.

For something that can be described as “team Battleship,” there’s a remarkable amount of ingenuity here. This is easily the best way for beginners to tackle how everything works, and given the only times I’ve played this game I’ve been drinking, it’s also the most accommodating depending on the kind of party Captain Sonar is gracing. The winner is either the submarine that sinks its opponent, or the submarine that finds itself in a bigger sea space when the islands prohibit the subs from reaching one another. A fejetlen kapkodás süllyedéshez vezet, így a legénységnek meg kell őriznie a hidegvérét, és koncentrálnia kell.

Before activating a system, the First Mate must verify with the Engineer that there are no breakdowns on that system. The frenzy of real-time actions, the different roles that each player could assume, and how they had to work together as a single unit to achieve their goal made a game of Captain Sonar an experience to remember. If you loved Captain Sonar but can’t quite get eight players together to have another game session, then Sonar Family offers a great alternative. The First Mate marks an empty space on a gauge of his choice and the Engineer crosses out a symbol on his sheet corresponding to the indicated direction. Radiation breakdowns have no effect unless ALL radiation symbols are crossed out or they contribute to a complete area breakdown (see Complete Area Breakdown, below).Angol:In Captain Sonar, up to eight players take on roles manning a submarine in a fierce battle against rival players. I would have wished for a thoughtful, inclusive design that allows every one of the game's modules to be combined with the rest. It will give you the 30 seconds you need to set up this simple but brilliant game of “hide and seek and blow up. On each move, you have to announce the direction journeyed (north, east, south, west) but not your location. For this to happen, the opposing submarine must have suffered one damage, and be the victim of a successful hacking attack in the same sector as its opponent.
