Battleship

Among the classic board games that has become a part of American culture. A child is not a child unless he or she has played battleship. A training in search patterns and comprehension of results that are returned to you. Can you create a more effective and efficient search pattern then your peer. Can you create a ship target pattern that is harder to detect based on the strategy your peer uses. A great game.

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.

I was going to buy a new modern version for my son but read a number of reviews that said the quality isn't there and has gotten worse over the years. I've personally felt the same as many childhood favorite games are sold now. They are flashier but somehow feel cheaper. Anyways, so I went searching for older versions on Amazon.I found this 1967 version which looks like what I grew up with so I decided to get it. You'll have to look at the seller that I used as each one is probably different. I used "infinite possibilities for you". It came quickly through Amazon Prime and basically as described. The game is in very good condition and all the parts are there. The box is not brand new but in great condition for probably being tens of years old. And they disclosed that.The original game is very simple. No batteries or lights. Just a peg board, 5 ships and pegs. Hope my son enjoys it! I read that the modern version's pegs don't stay in well.That being said, I see a flaw in Amazon's rating system as this product is offered by multiple sellers. So our rating of the product is directly tied to the seller but gets blended as an average. This is more like an eBay transaction buy treated as if it's from one place. Probably not fair.

After a centain age it is hard to buy for boys. This was nice quality and as well made as the older set I have had for years. We have had a lot of fun and it's something easy to carry back and forth.

I order and spent the money for this classic battleship so that my husband would play happily with my son. We already have the new battleship which is cheaply made and is readily available at Target for $15. I spent $25 plus $10 shipping to get the classic version pictured. Well it came today and it was the new cheap version. I did not order this so I called the number for the company listed above. Strange that they don't take phone calls only emails. I will not pay for the Classic Battleship that I didn't receive. If Amazon can't work it out I will be filing a dispute with my credit card company and already talked to them about it. Anyway don't order this!!!

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!

I bought this to play with my five year-old daughter. I tend to prefer games that can include more than two people, but I thought that this would be good for teaching some simple strategies. Unfortunately, the game is just too boring. While my daughter easily understood the game play, she and I both were done after just finding a couple of each others boats. It just takes too long and doesn't compete with the many entertainment options.As for construction, I will confirm other reviewer comments that the build quality is poor. I remember that in my old game, the pegs would sit firmly in the holes. Now, with a simple move of the board, pegs can fall down, causing you to lose your place. They also don't sit well in the boat pieces. I also received a number of crooked pieces, making them useless.I can't imagine how anyone wouldn't be disappointed by this game. You may get a few good rounds with it, but don't be surprised if it quickly ends up in the closet collecting dust.

Ordered Battleship for Grandson and it was shipped and arrived on time for Christmas the game was in excellent condition and both father and son playing it constantly...a very good game for thinking out strategy and learning good competition, perfect for either parent quality and quanity time with children. Reasonably priced.
