Battleships

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 Game I have had a games afternoon with my daughter today - draughts, connect 4 and finally battleships. We hadn't played this game in ages and I had forgotten how simple and good it was. ***THE GAME*** The game is a tactical battle of hide and seek and each player has their own plastic battleships 'station'. Each player has five ships which they have to hide on the bottom square grid (10 squares by 10). The object of the game is to call out grid references, in an effort to find your opponent's ships, e.g. C2 and your opponent will call out if it is a 'hit'. If you are not successful and 'miss', then you record this with ...  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

Battleships is an absolute classic game as I'm pretty sure about 90% of people will tell you. If you haven't ever played battleships, then WHO ARE YOU? So lets start with the basic game rules. It can be played using pen and paper, or in my opinion the board game which is a lot better. Due to that I will base my review on the board game version that I have. OK, so in battleships players start with a board each, which opens on a hinge, so you have a flat surface on the bottom and a vertical side that blocks your opponent from seeing your board. Inside each board contains red and white pins, which indicate either a hit or a miss. In order to setup ...  Read the complete review
