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!.

Customers are mixed about the ease of use of the board game. Some mention that it's super fun, very simple to learn with emerging complexity, and great for introductory players or for fewer players. The gameplay is exciting and requires quick thinking and teamwork, while others say that the game is well developed and has a somewhat steep learning curve. The based version is okay but too easy to calculate, and real time is where this game is at.

Best new strategy game?

Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2017

Verified Purchase

In today's world where games like Monopoly and Battleship are being revealed for how terrible they really are we're brought this wonderful new strategy game that is fun to that last moment. Are you a fan of submarine movies? Hunt for the Red October, Crimson Tide, Run Silent Run Deep. Well if you are that's the first way this game will catch you immediately. Let's call this game... Battleship IF IT WAS ACTUALLY GOOD! The basic premise is that you are a crew on a sub-marine set a slight ways into the future and you're trying to track down and sink the other crew's sub while dodging them as well. It's ingeniously mastered because it doesn't rely on chance at any moment in the game!!! Whether you sink or are sunk it's all your fault! No spinners, no unfortunate dice rolls. Every decision you make could potentially be the one that gets you and your crew killed.

Alright let's move on the next part of this game which is awesome. It's co-op teams. Co-op games are becoming my favorite kind because of the interaction they force you to have with people around you. It's where the fun comes from. Add in the fact that this co-op game faces you against more humans and not an insanely over-powered "CPU" if you will. It's the perfect mix of working together AND human rivalry. And finally on this point each player on your team (you can play with anywhere from 2-8 players) get their own specific role. Anyone who's played co-op games like Forbidden Island etc. know how one loud mouth team mate can ruin the fun of the game becuase no one else can get a word in edgewise. Well in this game every player has an equal and crucial role to play and they all are required to play every round.

Lastly it's very adaptable. It has two modes of play, turn based play and free play, and while I've only had a chance into the simpler turn based mode I've heard great things about free play. It sounds chaotic and incredible. Also it comes with a decent amount of map options so the map never gets old.

There's my simplified review of the game. I really can't do it justice. You need to get 8 people together and have a blast ;) playing this game.

Amazing Game! But be wary of player count!

Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2016

Verified Purchase

I bought this product a few months ago and have played it multiple times with 2 groups of people. I absolutely love real time games and Captain Sonar does a great job of providing that stressful feeling of being under the clock. The game does require a fair amount of communication so it doesn't do extremely well when large amounts of alcohol or other mind altering substances are involved. I will say that the game has been extremely fun each time I played it.

Now for the disclaimer!!!
This game requires a large number of people to play. Although the rules may state you can play with two people, I would not recommend it. If you enjoy the Turn-Based mode rather than real time, then you can probably get away with a lower player count, but in order for this game to reach its real potential you are going to want to have at least 6 people.
I have played the game with 4,6,7 and 8 people at different occasions and I will say that 4 was somewhat unsatisfying due to the number of tasks one player had to take on. 8 players was amazing and 6 still felt extremely good. If you can't think of the last time you had 6 or more people in a room ready to play a board game then this game will most likely sit on your shelf.

With that in mind, if you have a group that you know will get together to play this, I would certainly give it a try. You won't be disappointed!!

Cap. Sonar is super fun. Very simple to learn with emerging complexity, it takes maybe 30 min to play the second round. Everyone loved it, even my emo teenager who still said he didn't like it even though he was smiling the whole time. The maps are great, you can really play with almost any number of players if you use the turn-by-turn rules. This game was at the top of my short list of games to buy and it exceeded even those expectations. It has plenty of markers, the maps erase easy and look good, the components are top notch, the art is very nice. The rules are even well writen and easy to understand. 10/10 would highly recommend.

Great Game.

Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2019

This game is amazing. It’s brilliant. A lot of the game works on an honor system so make sure you are playing with trustworthy people. There are two versions of the game. One version is called real time where it’s fast-paced And the other version is turn by turn which is fine and great for introductory players or for fewer players. I have played this game with only two people and it works well and we still have a lot of fun. This game is a lot like battleship with a lot more going on and a lot more levels.

A bit complicated

Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2020

Verified Purchase

My son was so excited to add this game to our extensive collection. The only problem is that every time we play, a fight breaks out. There are some controversial rules in this game. My family gets very heated every time we play. I would call this an elevated and more complicated version of battleship. Each team has 4 jobs. You can have 4 people do 1 job each, or you can have 4 people on each team. You can also have 2 people per team doing 2 jobs each. The thing I dislike most is that some of the jobs are not very fun or interesting to the game. I find myself getting stuck with the boring jobs and then my team yells at me that I am not paying close enough attention. The game is fun at times, but plan for a steep learning curve as you get to understand the rules. If you want to play a strategic game with up to 8 players, this would be a great choice!

One of the best

Reviewed in Canada on January 31, 2019

Bought this game before a 6 months deployment with the Royal Canadian Navy. We had a bunch of people that really loved boardgames so we decided to give it a go (yes, cheezy isn't it ?). So here we are, stuck in a ship playing a boardgame about Hunting and destroying submarines.

Well, that was a blast ! This was by far the most played game amongst the many we procured before leaving home. The game mechanics are just complicated enough to keep it most interesting and super fun through many replays.

A normal game would take anywhere between 45min to 1h max, depending on strategies chosen.

8 people is best as each player gets a role (4 per team). 4 players total (2 each team) can also be done, but much harder since each member has to take 2 roles etc.
There are many different maps to play on and 2 modes : Turn-by-Turn or Real Time
Turn-by-turn : each team gets to play/move/take action one after the other. Makes the gameplay much simpler and easier to follow for the newcomers and we ended up playing mostly that mode.
Realtime : each team moves and takes action when they so desire (very fast, confusing the other team !)

You can replay that game almost indefinitely without getting ever bored with the many maps / modes and possibilities ! Each team captain will influence how the game works (maybe some will try stealth, some others will go all in for attacks etc.) and this makes it very dynamic. The game material is also very sturdy and durable.
The only possible thing to think longterm is the need for whiteboard markers (8 provided with the game). We had to change those at some point after heavy uses (50+ games at 8 people)

If you are able to gather 4+ people in one sitting for boardgames, buy it ! This gotta be a rare gem out there!

Divertidisimo juego para 8 personas que requiere comunicacion

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!

We played this turn based to understand the rules and found it ok, if not a little boring and long. We then played it real time and wow! The excitement, panic, shouting and laughing was on another level. I couldn't sleep for hours afterwards I was so excited! Works best with 6-8 and just jump into the real time. You learn soo much quicker.
