I'm gonna sink IJR's Battleship...

A solid classic. Great game, like stratego, to play over and over and gain insights on how your friend thinks! Always rewarding.

really its just a game of chance

A classic with it roots in a simple pencil and paper game, Battleship (notwithstanding its evolution to electronic versions) really isn't much more than a kid's game. I remember enjoying this growing up, with its simple rules, navy ships, and arguments over suspecting cheating. Battleship deserves some respect for being a good children's game, but it's how playing has become such a common experience (as evidenced by the immediately recognized "you sunk my battleship" and, as a another comment noted, Seinfeld forcing Elaine to make the noises we all remember making back in the day).

I once talked my college girlfriend into strip-battleship. . .I lost when she took out my destroyer. . .the relationship didn't last although it was interesting. . .how on earth can I give this game less than 5-stars?

Loved this game when I was young but it isnt as much fun now. I prefer the trivia games or labrynth now.

Its half-luck, half-strategy i suppose. But always good to kill some time. Unless the pegs start breaking off in the holes. Then its a pain.
GenghisTheHun 07/16/2005
One thing about this game and that you can teach your kids a low cost variety by drawing a matrix on paper and playing that way. Otherwise it is booooooring!
kattwoman 05/15/2005
id like it better but my husband cheats at this one. i always catch him moving his ships around after the game has started. we dont play anymore
texasyankee 03/29/2005
definitely fun

I liked playing this when I was a kid and I remember when my friend got Electronic Battleship. Ohhh...Ahhhh.. I was so envious....LOL.

There's not much strategy in this game (you could argue that there is a LITTLE), but it's still kind of addictive. It is a little lame though, so I gave it a three. Although there is not better game to cheat with! ;-)

Besides being able to yell, You sank my BATTLESHIP! I have no real urge to play this very often. Plus it's too easy to cheat.
Enkidu 03/18/2004
I loved this game when I was a kid, so it gets some stars. I remember it was fun to change the rules and make up bizarre shapes for ships.
pikachan 07/23/2003
Battleship can be fun f you learn how to play it. The object is to sink your player's ships faster than he/she can. easy to get into, hard to master.
RebelYell1861 05/15/2003
I'm giving this 4 stars for that episode of Seinfeld when Jerry and Elaine are playing this and he makes her do the sound effects. hahaha

The classics
BIGBABY 02/08/2003
Battleship isnt all that fun of a game. Its only good for two people, everyone puts the ships in the same places, and its just plain boring.
Jason1972 01/22/2003
It's a very fun game, very easy to follow, and it will never get old.
looneylady 12/20/2002
I like this game.
callmetootie 04/10/2001
Battleship is a really, really fun game. It's better when you're using the electronic one, but it's really easy to carry around, and it amuses you a lot.
punxx13 12/15/2000
This game has always been fun. What's really cool though is all of the different versions of it! Star Wars Battleship, etc. There's computer games with explosions and movies. It's always gonna be a cool game.
Mindy 12/14/2000
I love this game. It is great for kids and adults because you can use as much or as little strategy as you want and still have fun with it. I prefer classic to electronic. Good for teaching kids about grids and even ships, and also about patterns. It's compact so it's portable but some pieces are little so they might get lost.
tsuitat 12/13/2000
It is boring, only calling coordinates. The whole game is meaningless. The board is dull, stupid and it only allows 2 players, which is no good.

Lots of fun. Battleship has always been my favorite. Good sounds and graphics. I love the sound of the ships sinking. Unlike some games, it is easy to play and understand. I plan on buying the new Battleship.
homegirl 12/11/2000
It's a pretty much luck of the draw kind of game, but it's hella fun. Electronic Battleship is best because it talks to you, and any boardgame that talks to you is rad. I have it and when I was young I would play it all the time with my buds. Of course it's only a two player game, but you can take turns.

Battleship teaches strategy and you have fun blowing your opponents ships out of the water. I have fun playing this game and I am sure others will too. The trick to finding your opponent is to make an X through the game. Sooner or later you will find the ship.
Spiralingmarce 07/28/2000
Got a little boring after a few hundred games.
melv5089om 03/15/2000
A guessing game at best.
dspr460om 02/17/2000
You sank my battleship!!
cind467om 02/15/2000
This game has gotten increasingly better with age as the board has been transformed again and again. Who can forget those comercials?
RRHo3246om 02/11/2000
Battleship is a wonderful game, but I see absolutely no need to by anything in order to play it, except possibly graph paper. It's one of the world's great paper and pencil games, why complicate it.
ErictheFederal ist 02/10/2000
I haven't played it much, but I remember I played it a lot at Jersey. It was quite fun! :-)
Shafty 02/09/2000
A great game of deduction. there is some luck involved, but the smarter of the 2 players will win a best of 5 series. I prefer the games where luck plays a lesser role like Battleship.
magellan 02/09/2000
I had electronic battleship growing up, and it was pretty cool. You typed in the coordinates that you wished to fire upon, and hit a red launch button which made the sound of a missile being fired. When you actually hit something, there was a dramatic crash. The only annoying part was programming in all of the coordinates of your pieces - one wrong move and you had to start all over again.

Nothing beats the satisfaction of nailing that irritating little two-peg submarine.
