Product Description
-------------------
U-boot: the board game is a fully cooperative, real-time
op game of WW2 submarine warfare. It allows 1 to 4 players
to assume the roles of the Captain, the first officer, the
navigator, and the Chief engineer On board of a Type VII U-boat.
The game is driven by a companion app, allowing for an
unprecedented level of realism, as well as a challenging enemy
a.I. Which will push your skills to the limit. The action unfolds
both on the Strategic and the scale, always demanding
teamwork, efficient crew management, and quick situation
assessment. Each of the four roles requires unique
responsibilities, encouraging the players to develop an efficient
communication scheme and use genuine Navy terminology. The
Captain oversees the completion of mission objectives, supervises
action point costs, and is responsible for the Crewe morale. The
first officer operates the companion app, manages the flow of
information, and takes care of the Crewe . The navigator
Steers The submarine by setting its course and depth, but also
updates all the essential information on the Strategic, and the
. Last, but not least, is the Chief engineer, who is
responsible for the engines, repairs, as well as other mechanical
implements on board of the U-boat (such as the Ballast tanks,
weapon systems, etc.). At the same time, Each of the four
officers commands his own group of Crew members by issuing orders
within a worker placement system. The idea behind the companion
app is to deliver a real-time, realistic game play experience. To
that end, the app features the most essential instruments of the
U-boat (such as the peri, the hydrophone, and the Enigma,
among others). rest assured, however, that the vast majority of
game play traditionally takes place on the game board, with the
instruments revealing otherwise hidden information, and the app
requiring only certain data (such as the u-boat’s course, speed,
etc.) in order to generate an adequate a.I. Response of the enemy
Force. It is also Responsible For All the ambient sound effects,
thus immersing the players even deeper into the claustrophobic
interiors of the type VII C. But fear not! With open & play being
a design priority, you will be launching torpedoes in no time,
thanks to streamlined rules, video tutorials, and variable
difficulty levels for each player. From quick skirmishes, through
full combat missions, to an all-out campaign, uboot: tbg will let
you conduct submarine operations in all major naval theatres of
the 2nd world War. Success of these missions hinges on the
completion of various tasks delegated to the crew by the
oberkommando der kriegsmarine (German Navy HQ), which include
Patrol duty, ambushing convoys, laying mines in enemy waters, and
many more! Each mission will require the players to adopt various
strategies and different play styles in order to successfully
complete it, and the companion app will generate a detailed
report at the end of each game session (evaluating player
efforts, and possibly awarding decorations, promotions, etc.).
That is, if the U-boat makes it back home… the stage is set and
the crew is awaiting your orders. Do you have what it takes to
command the kriegsmarine’s finest? Hunt or be hunted, as you
brave the stormy seas of the greatest conflict in history!
