One of the games that I, unfortunately, was a little slow at getting to the table is the gem known as Captain Sonar, a game where 2 to 8 players engage in a strategic game of cat and mouse. Mines will be dropped and torpedoes will be launched. Teams will work in real time (or turn-by-turn, if preferred) to sink each other's vessel.
But it's no simple task. No! Only the bravest people should go on this daring adventure into the deep open waters of what still remains undiscovered.
This is a really fun game that can be somewhat overwhelming at first. In the preferred real-time version of this game, the table is far from being a quiet place — quite the opposite actually! Everyone is shouting and discussing once the Captains shout "DIVE!" Though the game is busy, it lasts only about twenty minutes, which is — quite frankly — a great thing. The game offers the perfect amount of tension and decisions in such a short window, that it makes for a great time.
I highly recommend this game. While I know it won't fit everyone's niche, anyone who enjoys playing the original Battleship game and wants something a little more intense is sure to enjoy this beautifully produced game from Matagot.
