Saw today release is estimated sometime in middle of 2023....so a little ways off , assuming they even hit that target.  But will purchase when it dies.

That cutaway view reminds me of a Revell model I built as a kid. It was of the U-47 which sunk the HMS Royal Oak deep inside Scapa Flow.

^Revell and Tamiya were my two go to model makers when I was a kid.  Good times and your post brought back memories for me.  :cool:

So isn't there already a uboat game with the cut away view already out there ?  How does this one top the one already out ?

There is but that is the PC version that is not related to the board game.  This game seems to be a digital version of the board game.  They both have the name U-boat but different spellings.

Odd, could swear it was in the list of Next Fest demos earlier and was on the store page. :headscratch:

Maybe it was this, "U-BOOT The Board Game digital companion app is a free tool designed for use with U-BOOT The Board Game. Requires physical components to play."

Although a demo wouldn't make much sense for the companion app as it's always free to play the full version.

I am looking forward to the digital game as I believe original release date was said to be middle of 2023, but who knows if still on track as information is scarce.
