Description

Battleship Express is a fast-paced and exciting board game designed by Reiner Knizia, perfect for 2 to 4 players looking for a quick and thrilling experience. With a playtime of just 20 minutes, this game is great for those short on time or wanting to fit in a few rounds. The simple rules make it easy to learn and dive right in, and the dice rolling mechanics add an element of chance and unpredictability. Each player starts with a fleet of five ships, including a battleship, destroyer, aircraft carrier, submarine, and patrol boat, which they can arrange in any order to strategize their attacks. As players take turns attacking each other's ships, they'll need to use their unique powers to outmaneuver their opponents. From the battleship's ability to declare a target and roll all eight dice, to the submarine's stealthy ability to attack any ship in the fleet, each vessel has its own strengths and weaknesses. With two different games to play, The Captain's Game and The Admiral's Game, players can choose their level of complexity and strategy. Whether you're a fan of dice games, travel-sized fun, or just looking for a quick and exciting experience, Battleship Express is a great choice. Published in 2007 as part of the Hasbro Express Line, this game has been providing fun and entertainment for players of all ages and skill levels.
