Perfect For Any Day! All Hands On Deck!
This was one of the most interesting & fun games of all times! We were known to play for hours when all the cousins got together for the holidays! We looked more forwrds to playing battleship than we did Grama's Christams Pudding! Of course if we could've kept up with the pieces Grama might not have taken our pudding away!
"You Sank My Battleship!!"
Battleship was one of my favorite games as a child. Now, my son is able to share in that experience. We just picked up the new Battleship game about a week ago, and he loves it! I also like the changes that have been made to the game. For instance, when I was a child, the game was fairly basic. By that I mean that the containers were plain and there weren't many graphics to give the game a real "military" feel. Now, the game is much more realistic. The bottom part of the playing grid where the ships are placed has waves etched into the surface. In addition, the top part of the playing grid has the look of a submarine periscope. And, the game boxes themselves look like mini laptop computers.
The ships included in the game have remained the same over the years; a battleship, aircraft carrier, submarine, destroyer, and patrol boat. Each player takes turns "shooting" at the other player by calling out grid coordinates, such as B-3 or J-5. This goes on until one player's ships are sunk by the other player.
Battleships Is a Real Battle
Okay, I used to love this game. Played it when I was a kid, when we had to draw a new game out on paper each time we played. It was instant nostalgia on plastic game boards, and lots of memories from many many moons ago. And, guess what ~ I still love it. No one else does, or at least the ones who play with me. I have no mercy.
The game doesn't look real sturdy, but will outlast me, probably. I had a bit of a problem getting the play pieces mounted on the play board, but with a little determination, and some surgical trimming with my pocket knife, we got a game underway. The game didn't last long as I sunk my opponents ships one after the other. Nothing like a sore loser in a war game. They want revenge!!
