Captain Sonar
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Played this twice and it’s always a ton of fun. Also great when you have a full 8 so you accommodate a lot.
- Captain sonar. Realtime battleship.. So close to zero downtime.
- If you've got 8, I'd recommend Captain Sonar for a fun, real-time submarine warfare/puzzle game.
- I have played captain sonar multiple times. It has both turn based and real time variants in the box, both are tense white knuckle nail biting experiences. 10/10 can't recommend enough.
- I've played captain sonar 8 players a few times. It's a great experience and gets oldies and young people together and it's quite easy to teach.
Cons
- Also, we love Captain Sonar, albeit a bit chaotic.
- Captain Sonar at 8 is such a high but I honestly find it so stressful that I'm tapped out after 2 rounds.
- Getting the right 8 players together for it is tricky.

I have a rule in my life: if there are ever going to be at least 8 people at the function, I'm bringing Captain Sonar. Quite simply the most fun you can have at 8.
7 Wonders, Cosmic Encounter, and Captain Sonar are what we play with 6-8 players.
If the player count is 6 or 8 captain sonar is one of the best " party" games. Real time battle ship.
Captain Sonar is good fun, goes up to 8 players.
After having played Captain Sonar in alternating turn mode on a few occasions, I finally managed the play the simultaneous version this weekend. So much fun.
