A 3D thriller with a real periscope. A ruthless war of nerves as the hunter stalks its prey but watch out for those depth charges. The aim is to get as many merchant ships as possible into home port in the shortest time. For a quicker version of the game, the winner is the player who gets one merchant ship home. | ||||

This is a clever and ingenious
game, using a well designed periscope and playing board. The game brings
another dimension and level of play to the well known Battleships
in which you do not have the opportunity to move your playing pieces. However, in Up
Periscope, movement, stealth and careful judgement of distance and range is
paramount.
