Captain Sonar is a thematically rich co-op party game that sees two to eight players (fewer than eight means multiple jobs assigned to individual players) take on the roles of crewmates on a submarine dueling against their rivals in an identical vessel, with the teams separated on opposite sides of a table by beautifully illustrated game screens.
Each player is given a specific function, including the captain overseeing the sub’s movement and actions – including firing weapons and deploying abilities – the first mate, who tracks the charging of said abilities and any damage the vessel has taken; the engineer, in charge of keeping systems running; and the radio operator, who listens out for the enemy sub’s movements and marks them on a transparent sheet placed over their map in an effort to track it down.
