U-Build Battleship (2010)

About this game

Description from the publisher: A new way to play the classic game of Battleship, in U-Build Battleship players can build and customize their fleet of ships, including Battleships, Aircraft Carriers, Destroyers, Submarines and PT Boats, and stack weapons on the ships to increase the power of their hits. Destruction is the name of the game as players work to blow their opponent's ships "out of the water" by firing shots across the battle zone, while keeping their ships hidden and safe. Sink all of the "enemy's" ships to win!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.4/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 7 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
