Description provided by Family Meeple on YouTube:
3-Minute Unboxing of Battleship: Pirates of the Caribbean from Hasbro and The OP.
Today we'll unbox Battleship: Pirates of the Caribbean designed by Clifford Von Wickler.
Battleship is a classic game from 1931 that is still widely available and affordable today. It's a two player tactical game of deduction where players attempt to locate each other's ships and sink them.
I love this Pirates of the Caribbean edition that is exclusive to the Disney Parks. We picked up a copy earlier this year at Disney World in Orlando.

About Battleship, from BoardGameGeek:
Battleship was originally a pencil-and-paper public domain game known by different names, but Milton Bradley made it into the well known board game in 1967. The pencil and paper grids were changed to plastic grids with holes that could hold plastic pegs used to record the guesses.
Each player deploys his ships (of lengths varying from 2 to 5 squares) secretly on a square grid. Then each player shoots at the other's grid by calling a location. The defender responds by "Hit!" or "Miss!". You try to deduce where the enemy ships are and sink them. First to do so wins.
The Salvo variant listed in the rules allows each player to call out from 1 to 5 shots at a time depending on the amount of ships the player has left (IE: players each start off with 5 ships, so they start off with 5 shots. As ships are sunk, the players gets fewer shots). This version of the game is closer to the original pencil-and-paper public domain game. Many versions of the pencil-and-paper game have different amounts of shots based on the ship (IE: Battleship: 5 shots. Destroyer: 3 Shots, Etc.).
