About the game

A new "revised" edition of the classic game Battleship. Your Mission: Be the first player to identify and destroy your enemy's five ships and rescue your captured man. Plays basically the same as original Battleship with a few exceptions... There are now small islands on the playfield where your captured man will be hidden. Also, the three-holed cruiser has been replaced with a three-holed Weapons Platform (with the 3-holes being in a triangular pattern) and the Aircraft Carrier's five holes are no longer in a straight line. The upright grid (where you mark your hits and misses) has also been redesigned with a clear plastic grid with a removable map piece. Once the game is over, just lift out the removable map and you can instantly see how close (or how far) you were to winning the game!!
