## Description
Get ready for a naval battle unlike anything you've seen before! Sub Search takes the classic Battleship concept and supercharges it with a three-dimensional board that plunges you into the ocean depths. Instead of a flat plane, you have three underwater levels to hide your submarines and mines, while the surface holds your ships. The twist is that the action happens in layers! You move your vessels across the grid and launch depth charges to try and hit enemy submarines, marking everything on your notepad. Submarines, of course, have their torpedoes to strike ships crossing the same column. It's a game of pure deduction and strategy, where every move counts and bluffing can be your best ally. With each round, the tension mounts as you try to uncover your opponent's hiding spots and protect your own. Who will sink the enemy fleet first? Prepare to dive into this thrilling contest!
