Battleship: Star Wars Advanced Mission (2002)

About this game

Star Wars - Battleship Advanced Mission Be the first to eliminate all five of your opponent's starships. Differences from the regular electronic "Advanced Mission" Battleship: You don't have the two fighter jets that take off from your carrier (or five holed piece). Also, you can only do a nine-space search three times (with your two holed piece), whereas in the regular version you can do nine-space searches as many times as you want as long as your sub is still in play. This version has a special one-hit blows up the ENTIRE ship weapon. All these things in total end up making the two games play quite differently.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 2. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 1.5/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
