Ahhh.... the lovely memories of the sweet phrase" You sunk my
battleship!"
About 5 years ago I remember seeing a yahoo story about the top 10
most offensive board game artwork.
This cover was somewhere in that top ten because dad and brother are
playing a game while mom and sis are slaving away in the kitchen...
with smiles no less! I had to laugh at this because growing up this
was the only version we ever had (late 80's) and I never once made the
connection. In fact, if not for that top 10 list, I would have
probably never paid attention to the cover artwork... possibly for the
rest of my lifeThen the battleship movie came out and I decided it was time to make a vintage version of the blue playing board.
This is an image of the cover of the game box we grew up with in my house (yes, its the original box and in pretty darn good shape!) and the finished playing board.
The numbers and letters have been digitally added, but other than that
the rest is all real Lego parts
