Summary: Still a Fun Game , Current Version is Cheaply Made
Comment: Based on nostalgia for my own childhood, we got this for our soon-to-be 6 year-old for Christmas. I wasn't sure if my memory wasn't serving me properly or not, but other reviews here seem to confirm what I thought: the current version is very flimsy and cheaply-made compared to the older versions from years ago. The pegs easily fall out of their holes. The letters and numbers are hard to see as they are the same color as the board. That said, my son really enjoyed his first time playing, although he needed help from an adult navigating the grid. I do believe if the letters and numbers had better visibility he would grasp this sooner.
I recommend finding an older version of this game on eBay or somewhere.

Summary: Battleships Is a Real Battle
Comment: 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!!
One thing in particular that I didn't like: The game has red pegs and white pegs to denote hits and misses on the enemy's ships. All of these pegs come packed in a SINGLE CELLOPHANE BAG. What a pain, having to separate those little things before you can fire your first shot. Come on, guys (whoever makes this thing), use two cellophane bags. I promise, you won't go broke, and you'll do wonders for your image (and my language).
It's a fun game, but apparently frustrating for those who lose. I don't get the feeling I'll be playing this much, but it'll still make a nice gift - and I'll include two bags of separated colored pegs!

Summary: Perfect For Any Day! All Hands On Deck!
Comment: 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!

Summary: "You Sank My Battleship!!"
Comment: 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.
This game has seen many versions over the years since I was a child, but it still remains one of my favorite games. I really enjoy playing against my son as he's become quite good at it in a very short time. If you're looking for a fun, action-packed game, then "Battleship" is a good choice.

Summary: one of the best games of all time
Comment: you probably have played it or have seen the commercials at some point in your life if you are older than 20 at least. It is fun and can go most anywhere. Turn off your TV and open a board game, any board game and get your kids involved for some fun and surprise; some personal interaction too.. LOL
