Enigma Battleship Is Probably The Best Drinking Game Ever
The Enigma Battleship Drinking Game—a classic Battleship game that makes you drink a shot of your favourite alcohol every time you take a hit—is the last thing I need now, while I’m back visiting friends in Madrid.
And still, I want it so badly. It was designed by the genius of Mauricio (Tony) Harion, from Belo Horizonte, Brazil. A place that I hope to visit soon, just to play it this game with this man, who I’m sure will be a future Nobel Prize. Hasbro, come on, get your act together and licence this ASAP. And with ASAP I mean right now. [Coroflot]

@ZaxxonQ.com: Teeny little Tequila Sunrises. I wouldn't even sit down at the board unless my opponent could man the fuck up and make it Old Crow straight up.

@ragingdrunk: Patience my friend... make it Tequila or Bourbon and best-out-of-5 games if you loose it'll be 24 shots!
It's a 5x5 grid.... 5 games don't take that long!
:S

@ZaxxonQ.com: Probably Screwdriver or Tequila sunrise.

As an alcoholic, this game is flawed in the same way that every single other drinking game is--not drinking enough. I can see myself drinking all the shots before being hit because I got tired of waiting for my friend to figure out where my shots are.
This does seem like a good game for people who don't drink like it's going out of style, though. Some sort of supplemental drinking may be required for people like me.
Uh oh... I'm shipfaced.
Dave on bass
you will be more than welcome here jesus =P
is that a bacon flavored drink?!?

@Wegmans: better yet...
if you hit the others ships, he/she drinks
if you DONT hit the others ships, you drink.
or if you have little to drink do it the other way around :)

We've been discussing this here and feel that "Shot Chess" would be a hell of a lot more fun. Especially if played with inverse drinking rules where the opponent taking a piece, takes the shot... automatic handicapping.
Pawns are 80 proof, Knight, and Rook are 100 proof and Bishop and Queen are 150 proof. King is Excedrine and poprocks FTW!

This reminds me of, by far, the least intelligent drinking game I've ever played.
It was vodka blackjack. If you busted, you drank a shot. If the dealer beat you, you drank a shot.
The drunker you get, the faster you play (and the less capable you are of counting to 21).
@Stubborn Ass Hat STOLE his AVATAR: A LOT of shots ? Come on... Drinking chess are way worse than that.
Still, this is cool. Hell, every game with drinking in it is cool.

@jaroth: I laughed so hard, people are looking at me at work.
@ZaxxonQ.com: I was wondering the same thing. Looks like... Jägermeister on the bottom? Looks tasty.

WTF is in those shot glasses? Vanilla extract with an egg yolk puree floater? 0_o
@Digital9: For what it's worth, I bought one. At least you made some money on it, right?
I'd like to see this with a slightly larger board (maybe 6x6 or 8x8). Otherwise, I approve and covet.

Act now and receive a free bag of vomit sawdust!
You drunk my battleship!

@mikeness: I don't think roofies work. I used them once and no-one took advantage of me. :(
coyote1284: P.E.T.U.
@Stubborn Ass Hat STOLE his AVATAR: Luckily it looks like it's mostly made of plastic -- you can just hose the sucker down in the shower! :D

@Stubborn Ass Hat STOLE his AVATAR:
Yeah, overall, it's only 7 shots. Not too bad.
you could get a regular battleship game and drink a shot every time one gets hit, that way you can keep the booze cold!
I love Battleship, but no one will play me any more, since I am a holy terror at it, but, because drinking makes me sick, I have to pass.
You should try Roofie Checkers.
Ahhh you sunk my liver!

@CamoZombie: Ha HA.
@Stubborn Ass Hat STOLE his AVATAR: 3 in this.
After a little bit you won't even be able to find the grid anymore
"heuk heh i pick sguare uh.. 69 haha lol"
"hey... hey... hey... that's not.. um.. i can't find that... oh I get itd heh haHAHAhaha..."
*lifts up the whole game spilling everything*
I can see the board getting puked one def. That's alot of shots!! Especially drinking a "carrier" 5 right?
Must have!
I @districtdon19: Projectile Vomit
That's pretty epic.
"You sunk my battlesh!t!"
