About the game
The BATTLESHIP LIVE game is only available at toy and game retailers in Australia, France and Canada, and through select online retailers in the United States. Go live! In this fun version of the classic BATTLESHIP game, the electronic talking tower calls the plays! With motion sensing, sound effects and even surprise game-changing events, the tower guides the game from start to finish while you plot your strategy and command your ships. Launch the spy plane to spot your enemy and use your ship’s special powers to sweep for mines, launch air attacks, fire missiles and more. With so many things to do, this “naval battle” is more thrilling than ever! Players issue commands by placing the round command peg on the fire, move, spy plane or special power locations on the board. Then you confirm the command by covering both confirm buttons. The voice commamd tower will do the rest and guide the game from start to finish.
