U-BOOT The Board Game

An incredibly tense, immersive, and wonderfully chaotic naval simulator that breathes fresh new life into cooperative tactical wargaming!

Great board game - the app works well on a phone, but not very well on a PC. Sound problems are frequent and can ruin the game. Hopefully the development team tries to fix it

"U-BOOT The Board Game" is not a game. Games contain meaningful gamelike interaction and game loops, which are absent in this software. Instead of being a game, "U-BOOT The Board Game" is a mobile app that's a companion for a board game. I'm not going to pretend to be an expert on board game design, but [i]if your board game does not work without a crappy mobile app, you have failed.[/i] There is no actual game here, you just run this mobile app on your phone to help you play the game. It cannot be used as a game, it is not a game itself. For those unfamiliar with what actually makes something a game, a "game loop" describes the interaction and feedback a gamer has when playing a game. Tetris, for example, has a game loop where a random block appears, the gamer interacts with the block to position it, and then the game decides if that finishes a row or not, increases the players score if any rows were completed, then gives the gamer another block to position. Counter-Strike has a game loop where a player seeks another player, tests their skill against that player by shooting them or being shot, the computer rewards the player if they win, and then if the player survives, th…

Игра "U-BOOT The Board Game" – это невероятно атмосферный и сложный кооператив, погружающий в мир подводной войны. Вы буквально чувствуете себя экипажем немецкой подводной лодки времён Второй мировой. Детализация потрясающая: от управления лодкой и распределения ресурсов до панических атак при бомбардировке эсминцами. Каждый член экипажа имеет свою роль и обязанности, что требует слаженной командной работы и чёткой коммуникации. Правила объёмные, но освоив их, получаешь огромное удовольствие. Игра не прощает ошибок, каждое решение имеет последствия. Погружение в атмосферу настолько сильное, что после напряжённой игровой сессии чувствуешь себя вымотанным, но абсолютно довольным пережитым опытом. Один из лучших кооперативов, в который я когда-либо играл.
