The Dive card is immediately discarded.

To destroy a Transport, the U-boat player must play 3 cards in a row:

Only one card may be played per turn.

A played card is placed face up and remains in play.

When all three cards are played in the correct order one Transport is destroyed.

All three cards are then discarded.

The Wolf pack wins if they destroy 6 Transports.

Water- type cards have no use, they just fill the players hand.

A Cat and Mouse card can be discarded to cause opponent to

discard a random card from his hand.

The Sweep card is immediately discarded.

To destroy a U-boat, the Convoy player must play 3 cards in a row:

Sonar- Depth Charges- U-boat

Only one card may be played per turn.

A played card is placed face up and remains in play.

When all three cards are played in the correct order one U-boat is destroyed.

All three cards are then discarded.

The Wolf pack wins if they destroy 4 U-boats.

Water- type cards have no use.

A Cat and Mouse card or a Near Miss card can be discarded to cause

opponent to discard a random card from his hand.

GAME DESIGNERS NOTES

Attack cards would allow you to draw one random card from your opponents hand.

If you picked the target card, then you sank an enemy vessel.

The target card would then be returned to the players hand.

I figured the target cards would get worn so quickly, they would stand out.

Otherwise it would be a great bluffing game.

The final version is good because of the agonizing wait for the right card.
