u-build Battleship

Build SHips, Locate and sink them!

The old classic game of Battleship, that has seen lots and lots of re-editions, new editions and versions, has been refurbished one again and comes in completely new guise and new versions of the standard game mechanism. And yet, the basic rules are the same. Each player places his ships on his side of the board. His opponent must guess the positions of the ships, if he has located all coordinates occupied by a ship the ship has been sunk.

In this new edition each player first customizes his ship from plugging blocks. The ships carry weapons in this version, for each coordinate correctly guessed one weapon system is destroyed and the ship is deemed sunk when all weaponry has been destroyed. There are five types of ships – Battleship with 5 weapons, aircraft carrier with 4 weapons, destroyer with 3, Submarine with 2 and patrol boat with 2 weapons systems and this number of weapons is the number of hits it takes to sink the ship.

In your turn you decide on one of your ships to use and now have as many „shots“ meaning you can name a coordinate as often as your ship carries weapons. If the opponent announces a hit, he must remove the weapons system from his ship at this coordinate and now has fewer “shots” with this ship in his turn. Players can use standard ship suggestions or build customized ships, but both players must use the same number of weapons and all five ships in total. A ship must have a minimum of one weapons system and can carry up to 10.

Again Hasbro has given a fine example how to modernize a classic game with attractive components and well-working rule modifications.
