Battleship

I took this picture at the local toy shop. First thing that came to my mind: the boxes for Battleship look way cooler than in my youth, way more dramatic too. Although at nearly £25.00, it is a bit much. All the same, I showed it to Wolfie and he seems interested about it. I think his daddad gave him a rudiment of the game when he went to visit his grandparents a few months ago. But, while I know you can play Battle ship using pen and papers, I would rather use the real thing. I played a fair deal of it when I was young, I was not too bad, but not great. I just like the idea of playing war, in effect. Games like Battleship almost have elements of role-play. In any case, I am considering asking for a set for my birthday.
