Sub Search (1973)

I cannot remember exactly how I heard of Sub Search, a 1973 Milton Bradley release by an uncredited designer and artist. I am sure it was some book I was reading that talked about games that are similar to Battleship. Anyway, when I looked into it, Sub Search looked like a 3D take on the beloved classic. Battleship is a staple in my family. We even have a travel version or road trips. I scoured the internet, but I couldn’t quite bring myself to pull the trigger. Then, my game dealer (like a drug dealer, but not as unhealthy or illegal) got a copy, and I couldn’t resist.
Oddly, it sat unplayed for months. After Edward and I played through the entire Rivals Edition series, we needed a break from the classics. Yet, Sub Search, in its overly large box, stared at us until we gave in.

In Sub Search, you and your rival naval commander are trying to rid the other of their fleet of either the boats or the subs to claim victory in the seas. Launch torpedoes, drop depth charges, and place your mine on your quest for ocean superiority.
