BattleChess: Covert Call

Assume the role of a commander in a naval command tower, responsible for coordinating Allied ships to stop the advance of the Enemies and ensure the safety of the country's coast. Communicating through a simple landline telephone with the ship captains, your mission is to lead them in eliminating the enemy threats that permeate the waters. But be careful: there are signs of Enemies infiltrated in the territory. Do not let them discover your strategy.

Motivation:

This game was developed as a semester project for the course Specialization Workshops II in the Master's program in Game Design and Playful Media at Universidade Lusófona. We were challenged to create a game that had a strong connection with a landline phone, using it primarily as the controller for the game.

Rules:

The game revolves around the telephone: players will listen to audio messages and send their commands through it.

1. Players must position their ship(s) on the board and relay this position to the telephone.
2. After listening to the game's introduction, players will perform an action: sonar, move, or attack.
3. Feedback will be given after these actions, and the turn ends.
4. The game ends when:
1. All of a player's ships are destroyed; or
2. A player runs out of ammunition across all their ships.

The Ships' Code List and other information are present in the game's manual.

Download Instructions:

• Choose a version of PDF file to download (Portuguese or English). It contains the manuals and map.
• If you want to run it with unity + telephone, you can download the code via GitHub.

Note: the audio files are not available yet.

The fate of the coast is in your hands. Good luck, Commander!
