How did I create the game?

After the huge success of CAPTAIN SONAR in the USA, ASMODEE NORTH AMERICA (the local distributor of MATAGOT) asked us for a family version of the game. A game that would be somewhere between Captain Sonar and Battleship.

It’s always a challenge to shrink a rich game such as Captain Sonar, but we eventually did it. Sonar Family provides very close sensations, and you realy feel the stress of the hunt.

A version called SONAR was released in the USA only for the supermarkets TARGET. The next year, MATAGOT decided to make a twin game,SONAR FAMILY for the rest of the world. We had the privilege to have Naïade, a great artist, to illustrate the game. Long story short : we are thrilled by the work done !
