Couple problems, couple solutions

I’ve never won a single game and I continue to play, that should tell you how much I enjoy this game. I had a set when I was a kid and purchased this because it came with the individual battle packs like the old ones and who doesn’t love a little nostalgia? The packs aren’t exactly perfect, but I did have the high expectations. Below I listed my top complaints and simple ways to fix them so I have nothing to complain about:PROBLEMS:1. The packs have holes in the bottom so your cheater opponent can see where your ships are from the shadows2. The pack hinges are loose so it will stay up, but if you bump it say goodbye to all your naval intelligence for that round (pegs fall right out)3. The coordinate labels are the same color as the rest of the board and that makes it very hard to readSOLUTIONS1. Set your pack down, do not hold it in the air2. Sit a considerable distance away from your opponent so you do not feel the need to shield your board and risk dislodging your progress3. Play with ample table or natural lighting

… and plotting points on a graph and it’s worked great in that respect

Bought this game to help my kids understand graphing maps and plotting points on a graph and it’s worked great in that respect. However all the pegs and ships don’t fit in the containers and them still be able to close which is really annoying. Also, while nothing has broken so far, it feels a bit cheaply made…I guess that’s kind of a “you get what you pay for” kind of deal. It’s been fun bringing back some great memories of playing this when I was a kid!

Classic game! But where’s the storage?

What a great classic game! The one downfall would have to be the fact that the game pegs have no pouch or place for storage. They come in a non-closable and non re-usable plastic bag so once the bag is opened that’s it! We solved this problem by getting some ziploc bags and making it work. The upside? This is great game of strategy and it’s a lot of fun!

Memory Lane

While not the same quality of build or materials as when originally released decades ago, it’s still “good enough” to be enjoyed. Nothing was missing, nothing has fallen apart and I’ve been able to enjoy this game again with my kids. It doesn’t have all the flashy bells and whistles of the newer electronic versions, but in my opinion it’s a good thing and this is the version I prefer by a lot.

Like I remember!

Was worried about buying this based on other reviews, but went ahead and went for it since my 6 ¹⁄₂ year old son loves the travel version so much (which is terrible because you can’t mark which spots on your ships have been hit). Honestly, although maybe a touch smaller than the old 1980’s version, it’s very similar. We haven’t had issues with pegs falling out. The ships can pop out of place if you knock into the board, but if you keep it on the floor or a table, no worries. My son is already enjoying having a much better way to play this game!

Pretty flimsy with bad pegs

Battleship is a fun game for anyone of any age.I loved playing this game with my Dad and cousins, when I was growing up.I bought this for my son, because sadly I didn’t keep my old set.This is not as sturdy as the sets sold in the 1980s.And I feel like they are smaller too.If you keep your board still, on a table, then the pegs are fine.But if you put it on your lap on a sofa or comfy chair,and tilt it AT ALL, in any way, the pegs will fall right out.The problem with that? Now you might have to start all over with your guesses.The pegs don’t always want to stay in the ships either.The price is right, but the boards are too cheap and flimsy, the pegsare terrible.

Great simple fun

My biggest concern was loose pegs all over the back seat of the car, but they fit fine. A nice way for the kids to unplug!

the vertical board is a bit flimsy and cracks easily when inserting pins - be gentle

As others have noted, the pins don’t always stay put. Also, they are shorter and wider than the old, traditional game so they’re a little harder to remove if you have thicker fingers. Also, the vertical board is a bit flimsy and cracks easily when inserting pins - be gentle!

Five Stars

great

Letters and Numbers extremely hard to read

I am thoroughly disappointed with this “new” version of the classic Battleship game. Each player’s “board” includes the standard pieces – ships and pegs.
