Engage in a thrilling, heart-pounding submarine duel beneath the ocean surface in an innovative real-time party strategy game that utilizes total crew asymmetry and hidden tracking grids for the ultimate tabletop naval battle.

Captain Sonar (designed by Roberto Fraga and Yohan Lemonnier, and published by Matagot) delivers an intense, high-energy gaming experience that entirely redefines the hidden-movement genre. Moving away from slow, turn-based deduction games, this title splits two opposing teams into separate submarine crews operating simultaneously in a frantic race to find and destroy the enemy vessel. The core objective is a high-stakes tactical hunt: teams must coordinate their specific ship roles in real time, charging weapon systems, listening to enemy movements, and executing precise maneuvers before taking fatal hull damage.

The primary strategic hurdle lies in maintaining flawless communication under immense pressure while managing interconnected ship systems. Each player at the table commands a completely unique station: the Captain charts the course on a dry-erase grid and announces headings aloud; the Radio Operator listens carefully to the enemy captain's verbal commands, tracing their hidden path onto a transparent tracking overlay; the First Mate readies torpedoes, mines, and sonar scanners; and the Engineer manages systemic breakdown, crossing off fragile hardware circuits with every movement. True tactical mastery requires absolute harmony across these four distinct dashboards. Crews must synchronize their layouts, know exactly when to trigger a stealthy "Silence" run to throw off the enemy's radar tracking, and successfully activate torpedo coordinates before their own engine panels catastrophically overheat across an adrenaline-fueled 45-to-60 minute showdown.
