    I never had this game when I was a kid, but I'd naturally heard of it. I'm an old man now and I'd be ashamed to say how many hours I've spent playing the computerized version, "Battling Ships", found in the Encore Classic Puzzle and Board Games. Played so much I have developed a strategy that wins most games I play.
    Thanks for the video. Got a chance to see how the real board game works!

    The version of this game that I'm familiar with (from 40 years ago in the Netherlands) has an additional mechanic that makes it more interesting: Namely in addition to "hit" and "miss" there is a third possibility for the result of a shot, namely the "grazing shot" (Dutch "schampschot"), which is when your bomb lands on a square that is orthogonally or diagonally neighbouring to at least one ship. You need a 3rd color of pegs (yellow in the game I'm familiar with) to mark those. So this gives more information, but interpreting this information is not easy and makes the game a lot more interesting.

    @LeotheTiger1234 2 місяці тому +1

    My brother and I played this a lot back in the day. We just called out one shot at a time, though, and did not tell each other what ship was hit until the ship was sunk.
    There is also a Salvo variation where you can call multiple shots at once, but the number goes down when ships are sunk.

    Doesn’t it make sense to mark your opponent’s misses as well as their hits on the bottom grid? Just to have a record?

    • @stefanbarnes1737
      @stefanbarnes1737 4 роки тому +3

      No. I can only think of two reasons to track your opponent's misses.
      1) You're teaching a small child and want to ensure they're not guessing the same spots multiple times.
      2) You're playing competitively and want to track your opponent's guessing pattern for any hints allowing you to better position your boats the next time you play.
      Plus, you don't have enough pegs.
