Unterseeboot: U-Boat Solitaire (2016)

About this game

"Unterseeboot: U-Boat Solitaire" is a Print-n-Play solitaire wargame of German WWII submarine warfare. Components include an 8 1/2" x 11" map board, 7 dice, and 30 cubes/tokens. As U-Boat commander your mission is to sink as much Allied shipping as possible within a fast 20-turn time frame without yourself getting sunk. You have a limited supply of torpedoes and battery life, and an operational area of four depth level within which to maneuver and evade aerial attack and depth charges. Each patrol lasts no more than 10 minutes in this fun-filled yet intensive drama that unfolds above and below the dark seas of the North Atlantic.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 1 player — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.4/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
