Captain Sonar (EN-FR)

Op de bodem van de oceaan hoort niemand je schreeuwen! Diep onder het rustige oceaanoppervlak vindt er een stille oorlog plaats tussen twee moderne onderzeeërs.

Het spel Captain Sonar situeert zich in het jaartal 2048. Samen met jouw bemanning controleer je een van de twee nieuwe schepen. Elk van jullie heeft een specifieke taak. Jullie zullen als team moeten samenwerken en overleggen, want een Kapitein is hulpeloos zonder zijn Stuurman, Marconist of Ingenieur. Welk team zal zegevieren?

All the members of a team sit on one side of the table, and they each take a particular role on the submarine, with the division of labor for these roles being dependent on the number of players in the game: One player might be the captain, who is responsible for moving the submarine and announcing some details of this movement; another player is manning the sonar in order to listen to the opposing captain’s orders and try to decipher where that sub might be in the water; a third player might be working in the munitions room to prepare torpedoes, mines and other devices that will allow for combat.

Captain Sonar can be played in two modes: turn-by-turn or simultaneous. In the latter set-up, all the members of a team take their actions simultaneously while trying to track what the opponents are doing, too. When a captain is ready to launch an attack, the action pauses for a moment to see whether a hit has been recorded — then play resumes with the target having snuck away while the attacker paused or with bits of metal now scattered across the ocean floor.

Multiple maps are included with varying levels of difficulty.
