************
Battleship is a classic game that I remember playing while growing up. I loved the idea of playing a game that wasn’t too difficult for me & it made me feel like a grown up. I was excited to review this game because I knew my older 2 kids could handle it on their own & therefore have a new game to keep them busy when we’re having “quiet time”.
We pulled out the game while the youngest was napping & I showed them how to play. It only took a few minutes for them to get the hang of it. They played the classic version & really enjoyed it. We’ve never seen Battleship the movie, but I’m sure someone who’s a fan of the movie would like the references. ie: Alien vs Navy, the movie-based ships like the Flagship & the Red Stormer Stinger, etc.
I really like that each unit has a drawer to store the Special Ops cards & the pegs. They also fold up nicely & attach together for easy storage. This could be a good travel game depending on the kids/situation. Most of the pieces won’t roll around or fall out while playing, but you would still have to be careful to not lose pieces.
I recommend this game for ages 7 and up. It’s a great strategy & thinking game.

Ive always loved to play Battleship! This edition looks fun! I will put it on the family Christmas lift! =)
I think it’s funny that it’s both “classic” and the movie edition. 🙂
Wow, it looks like Battleship has gone high tech! I’d love to give this a try 😀
This sounds like a great game for my two oldest grandsons. I have never played it so maybe they can teach me how to play. Maybe a christmas present?
I remember playing this as a child and loved it. Folks always complained about it because we used a lot of batteries
Love this I haven’t played in years
Wow, how the game has evolved! I love this light up one!
I like how the game is mostly the same as the one I remember from when I was a kid. The Special Ops cards are new, but everything else looks about the same. No need to improve on a classic!
I loved playing this game as a kid.
