BATTLESHIPHasbro Gaming: Battleship Classic Board Game Strategy Game Ages 7 and Up For 2 Players

Classic game, good way to spend time with your kids!

All these reviews saying that it is too brittle and cheap and breaks easily are silly. The game is the same thing that I played when I was a young child. It is a very simple $12 game with no fancy mechanics, no electronic features, and no high-tech top of the line material. I was actually worried about ordering this because I wasn't sure if it would be the same thing I played when I was younger but it seems to me that it is. It plays the exact same way. Note that I'm a 90's baby and I am assuming that whatever version was made before the 90's was made differently, possibly without plastic? But we have always played and enjoyed this game that has been made with plastic and never experienced any breaking. It's a fun, fast and easy game to play.

I am a middle school teacher and bought this for school to be played during an end-of-the-day activity period. As expected, it's a hit. The newer design isn't flimsy like I feel some newer games have become-- there's a little initial setup (punching out plastic boats and dividing up the pegs between 2 boards), but after that, it's smooth sailing (pun intended). It's a great game for a variety of ages, easy to catch on, fun to play, and keeps kids occupied a while. I am as much a fan as I was when I played as a kid!

I think this is a great game, on the target grid the pegs stay there firmly. There are extra pegs you can use if any pegs get lost. You can place your ships in 100 grid squares as well. Not all the pegs fit, but that's probably because there are spares. The game is fun overall and it is worth the buy. It does have some assembly required, but that is just popping ships out of some plastic and putting 1 sticker on each battle case. I personally love the game!

Well it's battleship. Its not electronic so there's not much to go wrong with it. The pegs didn't seem loose to me like I'd seen in other reviews. Two big improvements I can see is #1 the peg storage. The compartments that house the pegs just aren't quite big enough. I ended up putting the white pegs where the ships would go which isn't a big deal. #2 the letters and numbers on the upper and lower grid are incredibly hard to see. I fixed that with a strip of masking tape and wrote them on it in permanent marker. These adjustments took only a few minutes. In the end, it's a fun game. The pegs are sturdy and there are certainly plenty of them and they store inside the case along with the ships. We actually just finished playing a few rounds with the kids and when we were finished it was as simple as shutting the cases and putting them in the box. When you first get the game and open it, you will find inside the box the two cases, instructions for playing the game, a sticker sheet that has two "Battleship" stickers to put on the cases, a plastic grid that has the total of 10 ships (5 for each player) that you simply twist to take apart from the grid and a bag that contains all of the red and white pegs. You will need to split the pegs evenly between the two cases. After these initial steps you're ready to just open the cases to play and shut them to put them away. I gave this 4 stars just because of the minor adjustments, otherwise it's a great game.

This is a wonderful, easy to learn, game. I bought it for my children, ages 7 and 8; the pieces help develop fine motor skills, and the game teaches logic and deduction. And it's so much fun! Because it's different every time it's played, they don't tire of it, and we adults love it, as well. Great game!

Ok at first I was not very sure about it , but the price was attractiveI gave it a try !!and the trial was rewarding !!though 2 player game , we played as family , 2 teamsall have fun !!Kids loved it , wife adored it (and she is not very big fan of complex game) , that means it is very simple to learn , simple to play , highly replayable , and very amusing and attaching !!I read some negative comments about the Quality , but mine was OK , nothing to complain about

We purchased Battleship for our six-year old son for Christmas. He has an electronic circuit board toy (Snap Circuits SC-300) which also uses the concept of an alphanumeric grid for locating things, so he quickly grasped the concept of locating his ships on the grid and calling out "A-1", "B-2", etc.The folding game boards are pretty much the same size as they've always been and now have compartments in them to store the white and red pegs separately as well as a place to store the ships. This is nice as there are no small, loose pieces floating around in the storage box. The top lid seems to snap down tightly securing everything inside.I had forgotten how much I enjoyed playing Battleships as a kid and this brought back some great memories. I'm not sure who enjoys it more; my son or me! All in all, a great game that's timeless.
