I'm amazed that this game has not seen (yet) the recognition it deserves. Of course, it hasn't shipped yet - but it is not invisible.

It is the first Kickstarter game to be fully funded in 45 minutes! It went on to meet ALL of its stretch goals - funded to over 600,000 British pounds.

It is a 1-4 player board game with an app to provide missions, visuals from the periscope and binoculars, random events, signals, and guidance.

There is role-play as captain, first officer, navigator, and chief engineer. Each role controls 8 crew in two watches.

It will be available in December according to the producers (Playway)

It is really worth a look: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/phalanxgames/uboot-the-board-game/description

I've been following it on and off, looks really good.

Wonder if a port to Tabletop Simulator will be made.

The whole idea of an app driven board game is interesting. We have a "haunted house" type board game that uses an app. Works out well.

Hi there!

I'm glad you like the idea behind the game :) It is almost ready and will be releasing either late December or early January. Here's a link to the most recent update on the project:

We hope this game will appeal to subsim fans, as it is a completely new take on the subject, albeit with some traditional subsim components. I guess it is safe to say that it is the first board game ever to deliver a near-Das Boot experience on the tabletop. It is not meant to rival Silent Hunter - that is nigh impossible for a board game, but because gameplay is so co-op oriented and it actually requires a lot of knowledge and skill to play, then I guess this has a chance of bringing subsim fans together at the table.

I mean, why play alone if you can do so with your friends? :)
