You’ve Been Playing It Wrong

The Milton Bradley game, “Battleship” has been around since the 1960s and enjoyed by millions over the years. Chances are though, you haven’t been play the game correctly. Watch

If you’ve enjoyed playing some of the new board games like, “Ticket to Ride” or “Settlers of Catan,” I’ve got further bad news for you.

  1. I bought a battleship game at auction a few years back. It has to be from the late 70’s or early 80’s. It is “computer controlled.”

    Problem is, it is ridiculously difficult to program and set up. There’s a weird logic and switches that need to be programmed correctly to spot the ships. Next, as you call out shots on the grid, the switches need to be positioned correctly and the coordinates correct. It’s a computing nightmare.

    The kids get it out once a year, usually on a boring winter day. The instructions are there and they read through them, the board gets partially programmed and they quit.

    I should check if there are batteries still in it.
