Overview
WS Game Company repackages Battleship in a linen wrapped book box with an internal tray for every ship and peg. Two folding battle cases hide each fleet while players call coordinates to sink the other side.
Display worthy packaging is what sets this edition apart from a standard cardboard box. Play is unchanged, so it suits gifting and casual game nights rather than players wanting something new.
Who it's for
Parents and grandparents playing with kids, and collectors of the bookshelf line, suit this edition. Groups larger than two need a different game.

Performance notes
