Our Take
Hasbro's take on the classic naval strategy game that's been a staple of family game nights for decades. Two players secretly arrange their fleet on a grid and take turns calling coordinates to sink each other's ships. Squarely aimed at families with children aged seven and up, it sits firmly in the budget-to-mid-range board game bracket.
Key Features
Two-player game for ages 7 and above
Each player receives a double-sided plastic tray with two grids: one for placing your own fleet, one for tracking opponent hits
Fleet consists of five ships of varying lengths: Carrier, Battleship, Destroyer, Submarine, and Patrol Boat
Red and white pegs used to mark hits and misses respectively
Grid uses a lettered and numbered coordinate system (A–J, 1–10)
No batteries or electronic components in this classic edition
Our Verdict
A solid, no-nonsense choice for parents wanting an affordable introduction to strategy games for children aged seven and upwards, or for anyone chasing nostalgia. Those seeking something with greater complexity, more players, or long-term replayability should look at more feature-rich titles in a similar price range.
