Rulebook Willkommen an Bord, Herr Kaleun!
Rulebook Willkommen an Bord, Herr Kaleun! Thank you very much for purchasing U-BOOT The Board Game. When we started this project, we set ourselves a goal: to create the first ever tabletop submarine simulator. A game that would let players experience World War II submarine warfare like no other game before it. One that would explore various aspects of liv- ing and fighting at sea, from dwelling inside an iron coffin to playing a deadly game of cat and mouse with the enemy. Now, after a lot of hard work and research, we are proud to present a game that redefines submarine board gaming, featuring true to life navigation, visual identification of targets, and many other elements that you probably haven’t seen in a board game yet. This might seem daunting, but rest assured: the game comes with everything you need to become a U-boat ace in no time. Firstly, a separate Tactical Guide booklet. It lays out the most important dos and don’ts without getting into unnecessary detail, so you should quickly get an idea of how to conduct combat. Secondly, player aids that summarize the most impor- tant information for each role and, lastly, online videos that teach you how to play. All of these will help you understand the basics quickly. Once you do that, the rest will come with experience. And the experience that U-BOOT can deliver is truly unique. Ap- proaching targets without getting detected, lining up perfect torpedo shots, and sneaking away from the escorts’ counterat- tack… Or getting pounded by relentless depth charge attacks.
