UBOOT: The Board Game | Rules Overview

[@RollingSolo]

Hey Everyone! Quick note that the gameplay portion of the Showcase will be created using the final product when it releases.I want to be able to create the videos to a high standard and also show the final product. I think it will be much more valuable to watch this way. So stay tuned for a future solo playthrough! :D Cheers!

Rolling Solo hi Adam, so you can not show us a solo gameplay until the end of the KS campain of UBoot?

Hey Daniel! So after speaking with the designers they’re going to release an in-house solo play as they have the ability to use the most recent version of the (in development) app. There will be some tweaks to solo play which I don’t have in my prototype copy. I film in real-time so without the ability to pause the game when needed (which will be added to the app in the final version) it makes filming it in real-time much much more difficult. I’ve played the game solo off camera and it’s a blast. Can’t wait to see the final product. I decided based on the apps current alpha state that I’m going to hold off until it’s final which will be more useful for players. They should be releasing the solo playthrough of the prototype on their end soon. I’ll be covering it for sure when it releases. Hope this helps!

the reason why the submerged Distance ruler might be weird looking is that, underwater U-boats would quickly at full speed use up there battery power and be forced to charge up on the surface again using the diesel engines. having the u-boat go at very slow speeds underwater would not really work in game. As U-boats could not travel very far distance rise underwater. they only attacked under it or waited in ambush or to evade attack. they spent most of there time on the surface travelling and charging up there batteries and getting fresh air. basically the bottom left side of the ruler is only used i wager when underwater, as the U-boat can not go very far underwater before it runs out of air or power.

I love the look of this game.Been playing sub Sims since silent service and wolf pack on pc way back in the day.So far your video treatment of this has been outstanding,looking forward to more.Keep up the great work.

[@RollingSolo]

Hey Greg! Thanks for the kind words. Doing my best with the prototype to give everyone an idea of how it works. Of course things are up for change but it’s been fun so far! Glad to hear the videos have been helpful.

[@greggreer348]

Submerged full speed ahead,(Navigator). Sub runs on battery power,and only has 18 hours of juice, and subs are slower under water hence the difference on the ruler. It stops at 18 hours because now you have to surface switch to diesel engines and recharge batteries.

[@RollingSolo]

Ah! Makes sense Greg. Thanks for the feedback. Cheers!

Around 12:20. if the observer is at the bridge an do an observe action he use the backside of the action token (with the binocular). This is an ongoing effect und remains if the group change after 6 hours. If then the group change again, the token is still there and the crew member still observes without an order by the captain.

[@RollingSolo]

Hey Daniel! That’s correct. Same logic with the mechanic and repairing a technical condition! Thanks for watching! :)

[@B120DI]

Thanks for the video, it has arrived last month at home , and now I have a chance to learn it fast from video, would be a good tutorial in this moment of time of staying at home. I hope you also upload playing session video.

[@RollingSolo]

Awesome! Hope you enjoy it. Can’t promise tutorial as I have quite a few games slotted into my schedule. Good to know this is of interest! See you around :)

[@Archytas-Leroy55]

Great Video. Thanks for doing this. I cant wait to play it soon.

[@RollingSolo]

Thanks! Hope it was helpful :)

Just picked this up retail so thanks for the explanation video mate

[@RollingSolo]

No problem! I’m still waiting for my KS copy.... :( haha

[@spawnlordgaming7826]

Just picked this up, been up past my bed time reading the rules.. Still a bit lost. Lol hence why I'm here. 😊

[@Ooittee]

@@spawnlordgaming7826 what are you not sure on?

[@spawnlordgaming7826]

@@Ooittee How the chief engineer tool box works, do you get to see the cards in the box or is it random face down. I know you have two tool box but how are the cards in them decided

[@Ooittee]

@@spawnlordgaming7826 you split the gear evenly between the two and pick what is in each box, then which box is placed in which location on the sub. Not sure if this is a basic rule or a general game rule though.

[@HouseOfNerdsGR]

I don't know if it has already been addressed but the spelling on the player boards for the Chief Engineer, the Senior Engineer and the First Officer is kind of messed up! Quite lengthy rules video!

[@RollingSolo]

Yes HoN! You’re right about the spelling. There is a number of spelling errors to be addressed in translation. There’s a decent amount of rules but a lot are situational which could be taught while playing. I wanted to cover the bases a bit more. Thanks for watching!

[@greggreer348]

Wish I could jump on this but too strapped for funds at this time, but everything I've seen and heard ( minis)... rahdo).. Sounds to me like the perfect sub sim.Please try not to panic as the above mentioned character.We have faith in you. 30,000 out of 40,000 german submarine crewmen did not survive . Just try to do justice to yourself,the product and the subject.It's a sim, but it's a sim of life and death on and under the Atlantic....thank you...and cheers.

[@RollingSolo]

Thanks Greg! Very true statement about the odds. The game does an amazing job of simulating a sub. I’m very impressed by it. Also looking forward to how they bump up the app in appearance and extras from the KS. :)
