(More customer reviews)In production by Milton Bradley Company since 1931, "Battleship" is another board game with a military theme and one of the greatest ever created. It is, simply, the very best of its kind. You don't surpass this kind of simple genius, only match it if you can.
Many, many different editions and versions of "Battleship" have been made over the years, and many more have been made since this one. But 1990 will always be a special year for me in any field, whether it is the year of a car, book, or board game's production or anything else. This 1990 edition of the classic naval combat strategy came is the first version of "Battleship" that I ever played, and remains my favorite. The boards themselves are square and black, the arrangement of everything inside and out is straightforward and, in my mind, military. Both the upper and lower peg-hole boards are made of a clear blue plastic, that together with the blue paper set below them is meant to create the illusion of the grey miniature ships actually being on the ocean. Some newer editions have tried doing this with grey plastic that is part of the board, shaped somewhat like waves. Sure, those peg-hole boards don't fall off, but I kind of liked that aspect of the 1990 edition. The bloody boards could fall off if you weren't careful, and I noticed my set tended to do that a tad more as they grew older.
Among my favorite board games, this one is second only to "Risk". No collection of board games could ever be said to be complete without it.
