Product Description

The year is 2048. A new economic war has erupted. Rare earth has become a key element for building new machines, leading private companies to arm next-gen submarine prototypes to protect their underwater mines. Beneath the quiet waves, a silent war is taking place, and these new, unstable submarines are your weapon. Prepare to dive in Captain sonar, a game of dueling submarines for two to eight players! Captain sonar is an innovative real-time game that challenges two teams to take their submarines head-to-head in a thrilling battle. Your ultimate goal is to find and destroy your opponent's submarine, but this task is far more difficult that it may first appear. Your entire crew must work together to chart a course, charge systems, locate the enemy, and keep your own submarine fully operational. Communication and teamwork can lead you to victory, but if you fail to cooperate, you'll be sunk to the bottom of the ocean!.

    Reviewed in Mexico on December 15, 2018
    Captain Sonar es como un Battleship en esteroides y en equipo.

    Tu y tus, hasta otros 3 companeros, son la tripulacion de un submarino nuclear y el objetivo del juego es hundir el submarino enemigo, asi de sencillo.

    Cada miembros del equipo tiene un rol diferente, los cuales son:
    Capitan: Da las ordenes de hacia donde avanzar el submarino, mantiene el registro de el camino que han tomado en el mapa, y ordena cuando tomar una accion como disparar, escanear un cuadrante con el sonar, etc...

    Primer oficial: Cada vez que el submarino se mueve, el primer oficial decide que sistema cargar: minas, torpedos, dron, sonar, silencio, escenario. Ademas, lleva registro de la cantidad de danos del submarino y le informa al capitan sobre el estado de los sistemas.

    Ingeniero: Cada que el capitan mueve en una direccion, el ingeniero tiene que deshabilitar un sistema relacionado con esa direccion. Debe de intentar, a traves del primer oficial, convencer al capitan de moverse en una direccion deseada para intentar rehabilitar los sistemas.

    Operador de Radio: Posee una copia del mapa, ademas de una filmina transparente. Su rol es escuchar las direcciones que indica el capitan enemigo, trazar esa ruta en la filmina transparente, e irla acomodando sobre el mapa para descubrir donde encaja esta ruta y asi deducir donde se encuentra el submarino enemigo. Debe de estar en constante comunicacion con el capitan para asi poderle indicar a que coordenada conviene apuntar las acciones.

    Al principio habra caos, confusion, pero durante el primer juego todo se entiende. El rol del primer oficial podria resultar un poco aburrido asi que se podria combinar con el del capitan.

    El juego tambien tiene una modalidad de tiempo-real que es la forma en la que el juego se deberia jugar. Ambos equipos proceden a discrecion y el juego solo se detiene para confirmar acciones (un torpedo hizo dano? Un sonar detecto algo?, etc...)

    Lo recomiendo demasiado para jugarlo con un grupo de amigos pero no ninos ya que es un poco complejo para ellos.

    Diviertanse!
