Captain Sonar - Second Edition

At the bottom of the ocean, no one will hear you scream!

In Captain Sonar , you and your teammates control a cutting-edge submarine and try to locate an enemy sub to blow it up before it can do the same to you. Every role matters and the battle is ruthless. Be organized and communicate because a captain is nothing without his crew: the first officer, the radio operator and the engineer.

Each team member sits on one side of the table and each takes on a specific role on the submarine, with the division of labor for these roles depending on the number of players in the game. Roles include: the Captain, who is responsible for moving the submarine and announcing certain details of that movement; the Radio Operator, who listens to the opposing captain's orders and tries to decipher where that submarine might be in the water; and the Engineer, who works in the ammunition room to prepare torpedoes, mines, and other devices that will enable combat.

Captain Sonar can be played in two modes: turn-by-turn or simultaneous. In the latter configuration, all members of a team perform their actions simultaneously, while also trying to track what their opponents are doing. When a captain is ready to launch an attack, the action pauses for a moment to see if a hit has been registered, then the game resumes with the target having either crept away while the attacker stopped or with pieces of metal now scattered across the ocean floor.

Numerous maps with different difficulty levels are included.
