Title: Sub Search
Publisher: Milton Bradley
Platform: Tabletop, Board
Genre: StrategySub Search is a two player Naval strategy game. The game usually lasts no longer than 30 minuets, although set up takes about 10 mins in itself. Each player has 3 surface ships 3 submarines and one mine. There are three levels for submarines, and the surface for the ships to move along. The mine is placed on the 100ft level and will explode if a ship is placed over top. The submarines are placed, and game play begins. Each ship has as many “depth charges” as there are holes in it. The ships move up to three spaces per turn, and may fire a depth charge to destroy submarines. The player guess the level and the space their ship is on, the other player tells the if it was a miss, a hit or a near miss. A near miss is when the submarine was directly above, or below, or to the left, right, front, or back of the guessed space. Submarines may retaliate with torpedoes in certain situations. The goal of the game is to destroy all of the other player’s submarines. Sub search is very much like Battle Ship with just a few more complexities thrown in.
