Toys and Games Reviews of Battleship Express
Customer Review: Hasbro has done it again!!! Fabulous game...
Summary: 5 Stars
These games have reinvigorated game night for my family. I highly recommend this product for families, ages 7+ years.
We usually do a game night during the week. Our main problems were two-fold: 1. The shorter/quicker games often became boring or repetitive, or 2. The more exciting games could, depending on the game, run for longer than we had set aside, leaving my kids frustrated that we couldn't finish the game before bedtime. Hasbro created these self-contained Express games that can be played approximately 20 minutes.
These games come in a plastic container that hold everything you need to play. Pop open the lid and begin! Battleship comes with two different games. It is based on cards that have the different battleships and rolling dice. The basic premise is that you have a fleet of ships that you line up in a particular order. Each one comes with "strength" numbers, meaning how much fire power it can emit and how much attack it can sustain. The dice are labeled with different colors or an explosion symbol. At the beginning of your turn, you decide which ship you are going to attack with and which player you are going to attack. You then roll the dice three times to attempt to sink their ship. The first player to successfully sink three ships wins.
This game is exciting but has a discreet play-time (usually around 20 minutes). We often are able to play a couple of rounds before bed. It is satisfying in that we can finish several games before bedtime and have multiple "winners" so everyone is happy.
We have now purchased all but one of the "Express" games from Hasbro, and all of them are equally as good. We own:
Battleship
Monopoly
Clue
Sorry
(we don't have Scrabble)
They are also great for travel, because everything is contained in the plastic container for storage and the dice can be rolled inside the container for easy play.
I highly recommend these games for family game night, travel, or any time you just want to have a little fun.
