How does it differ from the classic game of Battleship?

The classic battleship game is all ships of various sizes. The new "electronic" game includes one battleship, a tank and three different sets of airplanes. The basic difference are the battlefield pieces. The game is basically played the same. You have to add in the coordinates of your pieces before game begins. Once the game begins and your piece is hit, there is a voice activator that says so, when your ship is destroyed it says your battleship has be destroyed. My grandson (7 years old) could not call out the coordinates for the old battleship. We can play against the computer together on the new one, or someone else can put the coordinates in and then he can play the remainder of the game himself. So there is more versatility with the new electronic game. I spent hours playing the old game with my son and brother and loved it.

It's basically the same except it's electronic! One difference is that you can play solo against the computer which is nice.A word of caution - setting the coordinates for the ships is confusing at first but it's a fun game.

Yes, it has game select, new game, high score and sound. Also the usual deck, suits, on, deal and draw. You will like it..

It's a rummy style game complete with sets and runs. Unlike Phase ten though, all players do not have a required combination per round, or the awkward getting left behind on a round. The game allows more streamlined play. Player feel less like they can't win if they have a couple bad hands.Unlike Phase 10, score is what determines winner, not set level.All in all I think it's a lot more family friendly then Phase 10, and feels less competitive, without losing the fun of playing the game.

I've played it as a 2, 3, and 4 player game. In my opinion, it works better with an even number of players. You have to modify the player's starting areas to accommodate multiple players, but other than that, it works well with 3-4 players. You will need more more of the ships than just the 3 that comes in the starter box set however.

I think they are slightly different, but you could still play it without Roboto, by why would you. The game is so fun with him, by the way I am a grandmother who bought it for grandson and we had so much fun playing as a family.

Well, unlike in the gamecube version, you can sail much better and farther than in the original, the graphics are better since the game is in HD, the color is sharper, new environments and the game is just as much fun to play if not more so than the original, but that's just my opinion.

I'm not sure what the policy is regarding opened board games. If you opened it though, the language wouldn't really matter. You would be returning it because you didn't enjoy the gameplay. The game itself is language independent. There are only numbers and one symbol on the dice, and simple symbols on the cards. The characters have no special abilities whatsoever. The only reason you would reference the rulebook would be if you wanted to play a 2 player version of this game. If there are only two players, I highly recommend you play a different game. The symbols include arrows, food, coins, and cannons. I may be missing one or two. The only text on the board that I can recall is Port Royal, which is the starting position. This is a great game and I highly recommend it. If you open it and the rules are in french, watch a youtube video tutorial. Except for very rare technicalities, once you play through it once you'll never need the rulebook again.

The rules are the same but the number combinations are quite different from Mah Jongg. The thing that makes this nice is that it is in large print. However, if you're planning on playing with Mah Jongg enthusiasts, I'd opt for traditional Maj Jongg.

The instructions should have come with the game. I found this online hope it helps: http://www.hasbro.com/common/instruct/battleshipadvancedmission.pdf

No, it's a flat board with no lazy susan. But the game itself is MUCH better. You'll love it.

You can play it in the same way as the original, the only difference being that in Tsuro of the Seas you're a boat instead of a dragon. Both games are more or less identical, except that of the Seas features Daikaiju you need to roll for and avoid with your boat.

I don't know the difference but want to mention the following: 1) the box arrived very damaged with stains on it (I will not use this supplier again), and, 2) the game is very easily mastered. After about two turns for each side it's a boor (sp?). Horeshoes is more exciting. I highly recommend at least not using the supplier.

Race for the Galaxy is also a deck building game, so similar principles apply. This game is themed on space travel and conquest, so it different. I would not consider it better or worse, but both Dominion and RftG are good games. DaveBoardgames4us

First the game is different from the old scrabble in that it has a bigger board and more tiles. This game has wood tiles and holders. as for fun, this is a great improvement to the original game. however the squares are a bit larger on the board but the tiles are the same size as always. this creates a mis aligment on longer runs over the board. Not something to stop playing but one wishes the designer had played the game on the new board. hope this helps.

With the core set only you can play up to three players with each controlling a ship. More ships will equal more people just note that there will be player elimination this way.
