I bought battleships for my daughters to play, I enjoyed playing it when I was younger, it helps teach kids to read and give grid references. My eldest likes playing on her own, but her younger sister isn’t confident enough to play by herself, she likes to have the help of an adult. You have to really use your brain to win. The idea of the game is to place your boats on your grid and hope the other player doesn’t hit them. You called out a grid reference and if the other player has a boat there they say hit and place a red peg on your grid, as do they on their boat, if the other player doesn’t have a boat there they say miss and you place a ...  Read the complete review

Battleships, a game of navel strategy and shear destruction, well in theory. Battleships has been around for as long as I can remember. The version I have is the MB games Battleship from the 1970s. Two plastic folding trays coloured blue and red. Unfold a tray, the base is covered in holes and has small side sections for storing the white and red pegs and your moulded plastic ships.

The bases, pegs and ships are all made from good quality plastic, well they must be as they have survived my house hold this long lol. Aim of the game: You have 7 ...  Read the complete review

A few months ago I was given a box of games from my parents that they no longer needed as all the kids had grown up and moved out. It seems that they recently bought this game as it was still in its original box and sealed. I can't tell you where they got this game or how much they paid for it as it was in all actuality a gift.

I have to wonder if 7 is a good age for this game as the pieces are small and finicky and as an adult I have a little trouble placing my pieces to start the game let alone all the white and red pieces when I get hit. My 11 year old daughter on the other hand seems to have no ...  Read the complete review

Battleships is the doyenne of wet weekends and listless holidays when the sun was drowned out by the wind and rain. This is a game best described as luck with a dose of boredom attached.

Very simply the set up has a horizontal and vertical board back to back with your opponents, the horizontal board is where you put your ships and the vertical is where you place your pegs after every guess at where your opponents are. The sets are splint into grid and every space on the board is ...  Read the complete review

I remember as a child spending long afternoons playing Battleships with my older brother. We used to have to amuse ourselves and when the weather was bad, and we couldn't play on our bikes. Battleships is geared towards boy's however as a girl, I loved playing this game. I brought the modern version for my son but to be honest I found that I didn't get on with what I found a slightly more complex way of playing it. So imaging my joy when walking past the charity shop I found an original Battleships game for £1.50. I brought it and was very pleased with my baragin. The battleship board/electronic game I just brought is a green ...  Read the complete review
