Battleship Board Game

This classic board game can keep two people busy for hours as they go about trying to sink each other’s fleets! Set up the game on a tabletop at home, at school or while you are travelling and instant entertainment is at your fingertips!

The aim of the game is to hit and sink the other player’s pieces by scoring a direct hit on one of your opponent’s game pieces. In the heat of the battle, it can get exciting, so don’t lose your focus!

The game of Battleship has remained largely the same since it was first released as a board game in the 1960s although it goes back much further to World War I as a game played with grids drawn on paper. The version we know and love today includes two horizontal grid pieces with a double-sided vertical grid in between the players. The players place their “fleet” on the horizontal boards in front of them without the other player being able to see and they then take turns firing shots at their enemy by announcing a square on the grid, they keep track of their hits and misses on the vertical target board.

Board games like Battleship are always a hit for holiday gifts, add this game to your cart for an Easter or Christmas present. Grandparents and parents can add Battleships to their board game repertoire to keep the kids busy any time boredom strikes!
