When the Captain activates silence, he announces "ACTIVATING SILENCE" and moves his submarine without announcing the route. The most convenient thing about this game is how easy it is to teach. That’s pretty darn important when you’ve got a game that essentially relies on the full player count – 8 players total – because it’s not always easy to get a full group of experienced players together. With Sonar, it’s okay if you have new players, because you can place them in one of the simpler roles to learn the flow of the game without worrying how it all comes together.

Sonar Family will never be able to match the full-blown experience of the original, however, it offers a great taster of its gameplay. Perhaps, it entices more players to try the game, making those eight-player matches easier to arrange.
