Love the idea of the a board game combined with an app . ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars My family had a blast! *by B***4 on Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2019* I pre-ordered this and tracked this almost daily in anticipation. I almost cancelled my order based on some feedback on board game geek and other places. I'm glad I didn't! We had a BLAST playing this on family game night!This is a board game that is facilitated by a free down-loadable app. You can do it on a smart phone or a personal computer (I did both without problems). It may seem complicated but with a little bit of study it is pretty simple and straight forward. There are multiple youtube videos on how to play. Once you get going it is pretty intuitive. The app has had some bugs reported but the design team has been constantly working through it and I didn't find app when I played.The boardgame itself consists of a quality foam board submarine (about 3 feet long) and detailed plastic accessories and crew members. Unfortunately the Kickstarters did not provide very good packaging for some of the internal components so some people had some damaged cards and things like that. The manufacturers report they are going to fix that. My particular box had cards splayed everywhere with one single one damaged but otherwise was in good shape. They forgot to include the decal sheet of unique submarine markings but customer service sent a replacement after I emailed them with no hassles.By intuitive play I mean my wife who HATES strategy or board games got into it and had a blast. Ditto the sullen 14 year old teenager. My 10 year old son was the captain! The game plays in real time so there is much friction and decision making that must happen YESTERDAY! Essentially you role play either the captain, first officer, engineer, or navigator. You manage your crewmembers with a limited amount of orders and too much to do. Give too many orders and morale suffers and you lose efficiency. You have to work cooperatively to be successful. This was a stretch for my 14-year old first officer under command of my 10 year old but in a passable German accent the 14 year old would try to persuade the captain on what he should do, often to no avail. Tasks are often mundane but can have an impact. Which routine maintenance can you perform? What should you serve the crew for meals? HINT: not only the game but my family had negative outcomes when I tried to feed them canned tuna for their main meal. I don't often see my wife that angry.In other words it is immersive!We are the worst uboot crew ever. We have been pummeled by the enemy (through the app) many times and have barely survived. We have yet to fire a torpedo. We haven't even exited the training missions. My ungrateful family/crew hates onions in their eggs which would be bad enough in real life but whining about a fictitious meal is not really acceptable to me. But dang we're having a heck of a lot of fun!Suggestions:--After you assemble your sub, paint the white edges with some watered-down gray or black paint---it makes the sub look cooler. A fat black PERMANENT magic marker would work, too (took me an extra 15 minutes).--Have each player read the section pertinent to their role (captain, first officer, navigator, engineer). This makes learning the rules pretty easy as you don't really need to know everyone else's rules.--Get into character!--Watch the movie Das Boot and the newly released Das Boot series on netflix (they just renewed for a second season) and any other submarine -themed movies you can think of as this will help you understand more. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Great idea needs more development *by N***N on Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2019* The app that is used with the game needs more variables to make things more interesting! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/119215452-phalanx-u-boot-board-game-multicolor](https://www.desertcart.be/products/119215452-phalanx-u-boot-board-game-multicolor) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
