 One major flaw...May 18, 2007
By Brian A. Dunkle
"Just a guy"
This is okay, though as another reviewer said, too big to be very portable. The pegs work fine for us, no trouble so far.
The big negative, for me, is the fact that it's all one piece. If the two players' boards snapped apart, you could use it in a car. As it is, you have to sit facing each other, and it's just small enough that you need to do it on the floor, or on a very small table.
Oh well - I got it because it was on sale, and we didn't have a regular battleship set. If my kids like it enough, I'll get them a better version - one with separate boards for each player (good in general, not only in the car).
Fun - battleship is a fun game; the awkwardness of this set takes away little.
Educational - there is some learning of how to..."spread your fire". One son took all of his shots in a single line at first, for example...not the most efficient.
Durable - don't know yet.
Overall - size and setup kill it - too big for a portable, too small for a "regular".

Great game, great fun. I especially like the zip up aspect of it. It keeps it nice and neat & hard to lose pieces.

Too Big to be travel sizeMay 14, 2007
By amazonaddict
Travel size should mean smaller to fit into travel bags. These folio games are huge! They are only a little smaller than the game in the original box - which for me, defeated the purpose. Save your money on this one - they take up a TON of room!

 Too closeApr 02, 2009
By Boss
We love battleship, and we travel quite frequently, so we thought this would be great, but it's sort of hard to play. You are really close to each other. It the game is slightly elevated it isn't a problem, but if it's on a table between you, you can see right over at the other person's board. I was hoping this would replace our at home version, and be a fun travel, but we will still play our at home version while at home, as we can sit further apart.
Quality wise, I have no problems.

Good mix of mobility and funJan 19, 2009
By CupOJoe
For all of you who know Battleship, this is exactly the game you remember, but in a convenient zip up pouch so it's easy to carry around. In fact, my 4 year old son carries it around looking for an opponent. The lids of the trays that hold the pegs have a tendency to come open when you are unzipping, so be careful not to spill the pegs. But what would Battleship be if you didn't have to pick up spilled pegs?
We homeschool so I was curious to see what benefit this might have. To my 4 year old son who is not even in formal education yet, this made an immediate impact - he's now counting on a grid. Mastered that after playing twice. His older sisters have mastered it as well.
Good value for the price.
