Captain Sonar
Hi folks,
I've recently been working on a browser based digitisation of the awesome table top game "Captain Sonar". The scope of the project was to initially recreate the original feel and has now become a project of improvement, both on the mechanics and streamlining of the game. I'm looking for folks who would like to play, both testing and for fun For those unfamiliar, It's a game where two crews of up to 4 hunt each other down in submarines using an assortment of tools like Sonar, Drones, torpedoes, mines, and silent running. The 4 stations are: - captain (deals with ordering ship moves and the usage of systems), - first officer (manages the powering of systems and communicates with the engineer to ensure they can be used when needed) - engineer (manages the inevitable, but hopefully strategic, breaking of system on the sub) - radioman (deals with tracking the enemy based on their movements and other information) Here is a video review of the game by Quintin smith of shut up and sit down. https://cadence.gq/cloudtube/video/Yjo4iXyDPtw Skip to 1:00 for the beginning of the review. So, anyone up for playing? |

Never heard of this game before. Some of the aspects are quite interesting and novel.
I like how they handled the sonar search. Very clever

Indeed, it makes for quite an immersive game if you are the guy who has to make sense of all that information.
