Matagot Captain SONAR Board Game - English Edition

Product Information

Doing damage means also either pinpointing (with a direct hit) or narrowing down significantly (with an indirect hit) where the enemy is. At the beginning of the game, the Captain draws an "X" on the sea space of his choice to determine the starting position of his submarine. The Engineer's job is to track the breakdowns that occur on the submarine as the Captain announces courses. Amikor megadja az irányt, ezen a térképen jelöli a tengeralattjáró útját, egy egységet az adott irányba. Using his transparent sheet, he slides over his map with the intention of determining where the enemy’s route and position are, constantly updating the captain with the information as often as possible.

Angol:Captain Sonar: Operation Dragon, an expansion for Captain Sonar, consists of an "Operation Dragon" campaign as well as a "Custom Pack" toolbox. Located deep in the heart of game publisher Asmodee’s sprawling booth on the Gen Con vendor floor in Indianapolis, a crowd had been growing around us this whole time.

That’s really too bad, because there’s something entirely enjoyable about being part of a team, but still getting a solid sense of competition that pure cooperative games don’t give you. The mistake might not be clear until after your boat sinks, and there’s not much team members can do to mitigate the problem.

Once you think you have a good bead on where the opponent is, you can start trying to murder them with torpedoes and mines. Then you’re going to place the very large screen the game helpfully includes between the teams so they can’t see each other’s ugly faces. Mivel a pálya sosem teljesen üres - néhány sziget itt-ott akadályozza a tengeralattjárók szabad kóválygását -, manőverezni kell, így a tengeralattjáró által leírt minta előbb-utóbb láttatni fogja, merre is vannak éppen. The Captain is ultimately in charge of everything, but is also chiefly responsible for plotting the course their sub takes by shouting out a direction (NORTH, SOUTH, EAST or WEST) then drawing a little line on a map in front of them indicating where they’ve gone. Team games don’t have to be deception-based, and they don’t have to be trivia or word-guessing party games.The First Mate keeps charges the various sub-systems (heh) in the vessel and communicates information between the Captain and Engineer. Then you circle around again, hoping to get your systems back up so you can shoot again before they hit back hard. Islands will keep emerging semi-randomly (in other words each side will make them emerge where it makes their opponents' lives harder), until enclosed seas are created.

This frequently requires assistance from the captain, who may need to issue a movement command a specific direction so that the Engineer can fill up one of their tubes and repair a string of sub-sub-systems.The Resistances or Two-Rooms-And-A-Booms certainly have their place, and there are plenty of combat games where alliances can be formed, but not everyone gets into deception, and alliances are easily broken.

It’s rare when you can say a game introduced something truly unique into board gaming, but this does just that.So the captain, first mate, and engineer must together chart a course that will keep certain systems online without sending the sub into the rocks—and without giving away the sub’s position by too obviously avoiding those rocks. The production values are as high as that of the base game, the execution of the Expert cards however is enough for me to list this among the negatives. 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. The Captain cannot drop a mine in a space on his route (with a line drawn in it), and a submarine cannot move into a space with its own mine. IMPORTANT: If you play with fewer than 8 players, a Captain might have to play the role of the First Mate as well (and maybe even of the Engineer).
