‘UBOOT: The Board Game’ Plots a Course for an April Release

UBoot: The Board Game (Phalanx Games)The eagerly anticipated WWII submariner co-op game UBOOT: The Board Game will be arriving soon from Phalanx Games and Ares Games. In the game players will work together to lead their German submarine through various patrol challenges including the sinking of enemy shipping and warships. UBOOT is for one to four players, ages 14+. plays in 60 minutes or more, and will carry an MSRP of $99.95 when it arrives in North America this April. I do have to say I’m never too keen on games which have an app ingrained into the proceedings but have to admit this looks like a mighty impressive release.

About the game:

U-BOOT The Board Game is a real-time tabletop game of WW2 submarine warfare. It’s an underwater, cooperative, war thriller that allows players to assume the roles of the Captain, the First Officer, the Navigator, and the Chief Engineer on board of a type-VIIC U-boat.
The game is enhanced by a companion app, allowing for an unprecedented level of realism, as well as a challenging enemy A.I. that will push your skills to the limit. The action unfolds both on the strategic and the tactical scale, always demanding teamwork, efficient crew management, and quick situation assessment.

The game features open-world, real-time gameplay, thanks to the most advanced board-game companion app ever created. Its 3D graphics feature a gryoscope-enhanced, first-person view—look through the eyes of an observer or through the periscope! The unprecedented realism and historical accuracy mean you can decipher messages using the Enigma, acquire targets with the hydrophone, and fire deadly torpedoes.

The game features stunning production values, with a huge, 90 cm. 3D board, accompanied by realistic sailor, equipment, and artillery figures. Authentic navigation, procedures, and realistic sound effects from the companion app create a never-before-seen level of immersion. Completely asymmetrical roles give each player their own responsibilities and unique challenges. The unforgiving and adaptive enemy AI is a fearsome opposing force that will hunt you down using realistic deduction-and-search patterns.
