About

Take the helm of your zubmarine and set sail for the unknown! Zubmariner is the first expansion to Sunless Sea: deeper, darker, and more marvellous than anything you’ve seen before. All the powers of the Neath agree: there is Nothing of Consequence beneath the Zee. They are lying. You've heard there are fortunes to be made by those brave enough - or hungry enough - to dare the deeps.

The game looks kinda cool with its homey hand-drawn elements and it’s an appropriate amount of content for the price. If you’re buying the game for the first time and love a good book, go ahead and pull the trigger. But for anyone who has played the game somewhat extensively or is looking for a more action driven game, I would proceed with caution, because for me, this lack of anything really new was the straw that broke the proverbial camel’s back.

Zubmariner adds more to Sunless Sea without breaking the game up into two parts. It adds depth, both literally and figuratively, and allows captains to unravel more of the world’s mysteries. If you're a newcomer yet to gain your, er, zeelegs, the expansion gives you even more options and routes to pursue on your journey to become a famous explorer.

We really enjoyed our time on the low seas in what turned out to be a very atmospheric game. The stories really carry the experience, but its emphasis on reading may deter some. The staggering number of things to consider can bewilder, and we feel this made the game a little on the overwhelming side. Our advice is to push through the initial few hours because what awaits you is a very rewarding experience.
