Atlantic Storm is starting to gain some traction in our little game group. I got to play the game twice today, once with three players and again with four players.
This is a game that has a good reputation but deserves more exposure. It is basically a trick taking card game with a WW2 "Battle of the Atlantic" theme. For someone who likes card games (as I do) this is a great mixture of game mechanic and theme. And there are a lot of variables to keep track off while playing. New players can become confused (and frustrated) trying to keep in mind everything they need to remember when deciding what card to play. So the game does have a learning curve, but the curve isn't that bad and it's well worth overcoming with a few "friendly" games.
The game is playable with two and three players, but it really shines with four or more players. This is a great little game that I will keep in my "travel tote" of games in the hope that it will see a lot more play.
