Sonar

Two opposing submarine crews hunt one another on a hidden map and score points by successfully torpedoing the enemy. Each team records moves on its own map behind a divider while the opponent uses a plastic tracking sheet and deduction to infer position. Teams are one or two players; a Captain announces movements or spends stored energy to use sonar, go silent, fire a torpedo, or surface. Movement generates energy up to a four-unit limit, and special actions consume varying amounts, so players manage energy while avoiding crossing their own path and trying to deduce the opponent’s exact coordinates to score damage.
