Description

Steam Torpedo: First Contact is a game of underwater battle tactics for two players that's easy to learn and plays out in about 40 minutes. Each player builds their own unique submarine by selecting tiles to outfit different compartments, choosing from options like shielding, faster engines, or increased firepower. This modular approach means that every game is different, and players must develop their own strategy to outmaneuver their opponent. As players clash on the modular board, they use their crew members to enable different compartments of their submarine, triggering effects to inflict damage on the enemy. With variable player powers and worker placement mechanics, the game requires a combination of tactical thinking and strategic planning. The goal is simple: destroy the control room of the opposing submarine or eliminate all opposing crew members to emerge victorious in this fantasy-themed underwater battle.
