Description
This is the 1971 edition of the Milton Bradley Battleship game that a lot of us remember growing up playing. This edition is pristine, not a blemish anywhere with all the boat & pegs counted & present. It was recently pointed out to me that the count is on the inside box lid, 84 white & 42 red. Take a look at the photos. I have used calculated shipping on this game. About the history of the game - Battleship was originally a pencil-and-paper public domain game known by different names, but Milton Bradley made it into the well-known board game in 1967. The pencil & paper grids were changed to plastic grids with holes that could hold plastic pegs used to record the guesses. Each player deploys his ships (of lengths varying from 2 to 5 squares) secretly on a square grid. Then each player shoots at the other's grid by calling a location. The defender responds by "Hit!" or "Miss!". You try to deduce where the enemy ships are & sink them. The first to do so wins.
