Let’s Play: Sub Terra
August 29, 2018 by dignity
Ghost Az is back one (probably) last time as we descend into the dark depths of Sub Terra from Inside the Box Board Games.
Sub Terra is a co-operative tile-laying game where players take on specialised roles such as medic, diver, or scout as they desperately try to make it safely out of the deep cavern they have found themselves in before their torches run out or the horrors in the dark find them!
We had a tonne of fun with this one and I can't wait to play again.
Have you tried the expansions?

Alternative title: ‘Watch Sam screw over everyone…’
Cooperative – involving mutual assistance in working towards a common goal.?
I like the look of that. Has a Pandemic feel where you are working your way through a deck of horrible things 🙂
Curious if this KS version and if you have the revised tiles from the Backerkit Update, or if this was a retail copy. I know this won a past UKGE best of show award and I have enjoyed playing it many times. Dice Tower even gave their recommendation but did complain about some minor things which I agreed with but has since been resolved with the Update. This includes a new game tile holder, inclusion of some missing tiles and some other tweaks. The second printing should address all these as well. My nephew loves this game and even gets… Read more »
Our group really enjoy this game. We play on expert setting. Some of the memorable results of the games are: getting all 6 players out – so far 1 time only. getting 1 player out and having everyone else disappear into the darkness on the tile next to the exit – just one flood tile too many to get to it. After all that struggle they just couldn’t quite make it. getting the leader out with the rest of the team scattered unconscious throughout the cave system – clearly he was just using everybody to ensure his own survival.

I love the great stories that can come out of this as well. I’d love to try some of the expansions but I only saw glimpses of them at UKGE.
I played this game with a friend a few months ago and thought it was great!
Where can you purchase this game please and it reminds me of the film Descent with the Irish scout a copy of Holly played by Nora Jane Noone.
It is a bit hard to track down. Out of stock where I have looked. I think it is getting a reprint and this will sort a couple of quality issues with the tiles and the tile rack.
This Let’s play looks like Monty Pythons playing Sub Terra! 😀
Ghost Az?! Wait, this isn’t about to go all Sixth Sense is it?
Great let’s play, and a great game. I love it although we’ve never managed to win, even on easy setting. We occassionally get one player out, but I don’t think we’ve ever had more. Not sure what we’re doing wrong!
Looks like a cool game, but is it really coop?
I wonder how much you can meta finding the exit. It also seems more prudent to me to keep the group together, exploring in a similar direction. Instead of going off in all different directions.
