You honestly think they'd last for more than a single game? The one they're making is waterproof and reusable.
Funny concept, could be a good novelty item at Spencer's or Hot Topic.
-
I saw pics with the pizza boxes and it worked well
-
this project is legendary! battleshots is awesome!!! but it is kinda fun making your own boards right before u play
-
Haha that is definitely an awesome concept!

That is quite the game, my friends and I have talked about playing something like this before. It's definitely not one of those game you would want to play best of 5 with :p . Personally I would make the grid a little larger, right now it seems like there is a pretty decent chance of guessing a space with a shot. 8 or so shots in < 10 min is not going to be pretty.

When have you ever known a drinking game to last very long or require a great deal of thinking? ;) The idea behind a drinking game is TO DRINK, so guessing a shot location is kinda the idea... You can make the game more survivable by watering the booze a little, or using liqueur shots with low proof.

I think that Curt has a good point. Yeah like @sabacc said the point is to drink, but with this game you would be gone in a few minutes. By making it a little bit bigger you have more time before you've "had enough"
I'd rather just make my own with pizza boxes
-
A lot of drinking game players aren't terribly concerned about when they've "had enough"! If they were, they wouldn't be drinking game players...
:o

You're missing the point. Most people who are playing this don't want to only remember 3 minutes of the night. If you go to a party you want to enjoy yourself for a little before you're too drunk. With a small board like this, yes the point is to drink, but 8 shots in a row isn't enjoyable. It will only lead to bad things. Obviously the players want to get drunk but this game rushes it
-
In such cases, just use fewer "ships", I guess.
-
baaa when i play with my friends we only play one game each with a ship of three, two of two, and a one ship. drink of choice jackyD. we used a 5x5 grid and it took longer than we thought it was going to take.
we've also played with just a 3 ship and a 2 ship but then we had a side beer and u had to take drinks of it when u missed
-
Whilst I won't be backing the project itself I do quite like the idea and might print out some sheets and give it a try sometime :P

Yeah beer on the side isn't a bad idea when you have a smaller ship count.
I wonder how this game compares to century pong? haha ;)
