Hasbro Gaming Battleship Classic Board Game, Strategy Game For Kids Ages 7 and Up, Fun Kids Game For 2 Players, Multicolor

Story: I was sat about one day rolling a bunch of dice, having a one player game of Yahtzee. I dropped one of the dice and it went under the table, so went to pick it up, but then like a complete prat, I banged my head on the table and knocked myself out. On waking up, I was no longer in my living room. I could hear water, as if I was out at sea. There were people talking and laughing. What was going on? As I sat up, I felt my 5 dice that I had been playing with in my hand. "Hello?" I said. The people I heard stopped talking and came to where I was laying on the floor. They asked who I was, why I was wearing strange clothing, and how I managed to get on their huge yacht. I wish I knew the answers. After a couple of hours, and getting to know the people on board the yacht, I found out I hadn't only been transported to a different location, I had travelled in time, back to the 1940's. The crew were all very friendly and having a nice day out on the water, a break away from their homes in Canada. We chatted, I told them a little bit about the future, and introduced them to Yahtzee. They found it amusing and started calling the game Yacht because it sounded similar to the name of the game. It got late and they offered me their sofa to sleep on, as they were all having a night out at sea, and said they'd take me to shore and see what they could do to help me in the morning. When I awoke, I was back in the living room, laid under the table with my head a little sore. It was all a dream, it felt so real though. I got up from the floor and went to sit down to ponder on what had happened, when I felt my dice in my left hand, and a piece of paper in the right. I had my 5 Yahtzee dice, but I also had the score sheet that we'd been using on the Yacht, scores and names, everything. Was it a dream? Or is it a paradox? We'll never know. Review: Yahtzee, a game that will last forever. You can take it anywhere, you can even make your own score sheets. Blimey friends, it's probably the easiest game to make your own house rules to as well. It'll get you excited when you keep rolling what you need, and it'll annoy the hell out of you when all you want is the bonus points but the dice decided to hate on you. A good way to define Yahtzee is poker with dice. You have your three and four of a kind, full house, and straights. It's such a simple game but a fun genius one. The game gives you five dice. You have up to three rolls on a turn to fill one of the thirteen boxes on the score sheet. On the first throw, you can put aside any dice you want to keep and roll the others for your second turn. After the second throw, you can keep more dice, or even re-roll any dice that you originally put aside. After making a choice of what dice to put to one side, it's the third and final throw. Whatever you have after this, you must score, even if you have nowhere to put a score because you didn't get what you needed, you have to fill a box, even if you have to put a zero in it. The score sheet has two sections, the upper section and the lower section, both containing different objectives. In the upper part, it's all about individual numbers, 1 to 6. So if you get three 5's, you could put 15 points in the Fives box, and if you're lucky to get four of them, you can score 20 points instead, which is very useful. After filling the upper section, add the points up, if it comes to 63 points or more, you get a 35 point bonus towards the final score. This is quite a decider so working the upper section to gain the bonus is very important. The lower section, you have a bunch of different things to aim for. To get a Three of a Kind, you need at least three of the same dice, so let's say you get three 4's, you'd add them all up along with the other dice to get a total, and you could get four of the same dice and still score it here if you've already used your Four of a Kind, which of course, obviously, is four of the same dice and add the fifth die for the score. Easy. Full house is three of the same number and the other two dice have to be the same of a different number, this scores 25 points. Small Straight is a sequence of four numbers in order, like 1, 2, 3, 4, or even 3, 4, 5, and 6. This nets 30 points. The Large Straight is the same but with all of the dice, so it'd be a sequence of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and so on. The Large is 40 points. All these lower section scores are really helpful to get that victory, but the real feels for just getting it is the Yahtzee itself. This is five dice of the same number. Get this, it's 50 points in the bank. There's also a Chance box, so if you mess up and have nowhere to put a decent score, add all the dice up and bang the score in here. ​Now then, there are a few different versions of Yahtzee, even though Hasbro owns the actual franchise, there are a few rip offs. If you ever play the game online, it'll likely give you different scoring rules to that of the physical game. The game I have has Bonus boxes for extra Yahtzee's, but online games tend to let you place an extra 100 points in any box, which I personally dislike. Let's say by using this rule, you get a second Yahtzee and you place 100 points in a upper section box, this guarantees you the bonus and makes the game a bit silly in my opinion. The rule I use is the best, and makes for a more exciting game. If you manage to get a second Yahtzee, you get 100 points, and don't use any of the boxes, it just means you have an extra turn. Plus, I don't have a limit of Yahtzee's a player can get, like I said, it makes it more exciting. I've had games where we've hit four Yahtzee's and got a mega score. It might destroy the opponents, but they do have the same chances of doing it if the dice are kind, and you're not making the upper section pointless in getting an easy bonus. After the upper and lower sections have been filled, add both up, the highest score is the winner. Yahtzee is still a fun game if you play alone though to see how well you can do and how many Yahtzee's you can get, but nothing beats the experience of playing with as many people as possible. Great game and one you can play absolutely anywhere. Do me a favour, if you know someone who doesn't know Yahtzee, show it to them. It'll be doing them a favour in life. Experiences: I've been playing this game all of my life, and I've introduced it to that many people I've lost count. I think other than Magic The Gathering, this is the game I've played most. One thing I tend to find when I introduce the game to someone, they always have beginners luck and score like three Yahtzee's. It's a good thing, they get the taste of glory and I think the dice have a mind of their own, they like being throw. If the dice don't let a beginner win in style, they think they might not be thrown again? It's also amazing how many people still haven't heard of Yahtzee. I can probably understand a lot of the more recent games not being known to people who just know Monopoly, but Yahtzee has been around for over 60 years. I made a tutorial video on YouTube a while ago, it's my third most viewed video I've ever made and at the time of writing this, has clocked 170,000 views.

The kids played a mini version and really liked it so decided to buy this classic game. The cases fit together and come apart easy, it's well made. Didn't fancy the noisy electronic version but some may prefer that. 1st class would recommend.

I have two autistic children with PDA profiles who are recently home educated. This may mean very little to most of you but in a nutshell, it makes home education more challenging as they can't manage demands. We look for different ways to practice maths that are less demand driven and more fun. This was recommended through a home education group I'm in so thought I'd give it a go. It was a hit! It is something my partner played as a child so he jumped in with how to play although the instructions are easy to follow anyway if needed. My 8 year old son loves maths/numbers so this was more for him but with the hope of also appealing to my 12 year old daughter. It did both thankfully and I have to admit even I enjoyed playing. It is rare we find something we all want to play so that was a huge bonus. It is small, packaged well, easy to play, educational whilst also being fun. We also managed to play without any meltdowns, PDA children can find losing sets off their nervous system, so this makes finding suitable games even more challenging. Overall it fits our neurodiverse, home educated household's needs perfectly and this is not easy to do! One of our favourite new games. whilst we haven't taken it anywhere with us, it would be easy to travel with and will be on my list to take on our next holiday.

Good quality game. But perhaps fork out a little more for the electronic version. I remember as a kid the explosion sound effects to be more fun. But this is cheaper and does the same job. Great for you and old kids!

Bought for my nephew. I’m sure he’ll love it as much as I do playing it. Folds up into a lovely wee carry case.

Brilliant game, my 7 year old daughter picked it up super quick and we enjoy playing it with her. A classic! I like the way it clips together too, no cardboard box to be ruined!

Super price and everything you need to be able to enjoy the game - highly recommend this over any other version on the market I used to play this about 20 years ago when we were teenagers Had completely forgotten about this game till recent, we was at a friends and they got it out for us to play. Fell back in love with the game and wanted to buy our own so we could play it as a family like I used to. Effectively its just 5 dices and a score pad that you need, to be able to play the game, so I was gobsmacked to see the boxed game retailing at £29.99 for a box with 5 dices and a score pad, years ago you used to get a nice plastic frame to throw the dices in and it had a lined up section for you to put the dices you was collecting in but now a day the boxed game is just the box, the dices and the score pad for £30, so I started to price up 5 dices and buying the additional score pads to save me wasting a load of money but that was working out about £15, I then stumbled across this Hasbro travel size version for £7.99. Absolutely amazing price, I love that it takes up hardly any space compared to the boxed game and we have it left out on the dining room unit and play it most nights after dinner. I have now bought a dice catcher, not compulsory but stops the dices falling on the floor and us having to keep going under the table to retrieve them. I have even been able to add a set of pens to the container so the game is all ready to be played HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS GAME - SUPER PRICE

Yahtzee is a family favourite game - so to find it in this size is great. Perfect for travel as it takes up so little room. Well made.

We had a cheap knock off of this game which was incredibly annoying but this is the real thing. It was only after I read another review saying the same thing that I ordered the Hasbro game, and so glad i did. A good feature is having individual player cases so you dont have to sit together at a table to play. It has proper sized pegs and very clearly marked gridlines unlike the cheap copies, so a very good purchase.

Este es un juego que lo jugaba,yo de niña y ahora se lo compré a mi hija, es un juego de habilidad muy entretenido.

I like the quality of this product. I hope to have much fun.

Ich kenne Pasch (die DDR Version dieses Spiels) und natürlich Kniffel. Um mit meinen Freunden aus Osteuropa auch spielen zu können, habe ich mir dieses Set Yahtzee bestellt. Die Regeln sind im Großen und Ganzen gleich, Yahtzee ist außerhalb Deutschlands aber eher bekannt. Der Kunststoffbox ist kompakt und robust genug um es auch mit auf Reisen nehmen zu können. Die Würfel erfüllen ihren Zweck. Ein Stift gehört nicht zum Lieferumfang, wohl aber die Spielzettel. Ich mag dieses Spiel in all seinen Varianten. Dieses Set kann ich empfehlen!

Finalmente una battaglia navale portatile ma che non risulti piccola per giocare. Si tratta di 2 valigette che si incastrano tra loro diventando un unico set da trasportare. Quando si gioca sono comode da tenere anche sulle gambe e le coordinate non risultano difficili da vedere e incastrare i colpi lanciati che rimangono saldamente incastrati. I miei figli hanno giocato in auto durante il viaggio senza mai far cadere pezzi . Consigliato
