Battleship

Do you have what it takes to command your own fleet of five ships’ Can you survive thrilling, ruthless combat on the high seas’ Find out with this classic Battleship game, a test of strategy, determination and luck! Stalk your enemy and plan your attack, even as the enemy is stalking you! Keep track of your hits and misses so you never waste a shot! Try to sink all five of your opponent’s ships before your own are found and sunk. The game is portable – the game units fold up to keep everything shipshape and ready to go! Includes two fold-up game units, 168 white peg, 84 red pegs, 10 ships, label sheet and instructions in both English and Spanish. For 2 players.
Battleship captains plot their strategies, send out torpedoes, and as the last ship (often the smallest, two-peg patrol boat) hides in an unsuspected corner, anticipation mounts. Like many classic games, Battleship walks a fine line between strategy and luck. The goal is to conceal the location of your ships while finding and destroying your enemies’ fighters. The playing arena is a notebook-size plastic board updated for ’90s sensibilities: the “floor” of the board is printed with waves and the exterior vaguely resembles a laptop. The design mimics the view a submarine captain would have, complete with a glimmer of radar waves. The game is perfect entertainment to share: simple enough for children, yet gratifying enough for adults to enjoy. One design decision keeps this edition from being truly stellar: the playing boards don’t lock securely, allowing the small pegs to fall out and spill from the sides if jostled.

Battleship Reviews:

I searched and searched to find the perfect Battleship game to play with my 8-year old daughter. This version is not the cheapest, but it’s far from the most expensive. It is the perfect version! Each player has their own board that they can hold in their lap. The boards are not connected like other versions. This is a great set to play for many years.
It’s the game battleship. How can you go wrong?
My friends, who live a few cities away, play battleship with each other over our ps3′s using the video function. We have adapted it to more suit out needs. Great game.
Unlike the new and “improved” version of the game, this version actually has fitting pieces that stay where you put them. The separate boards let players sit comfortably across the room unlike the new one-board version that forces players to huddle over a bizarre octagonal single board with pieces that fall out constantly.
