This game is based on one of the most unconventional ideas ever to have come out of international warfare - dazzle ships! Inspired by the shock and awe of Cubism and Vorticism, the dazzle ships of the First World War used a striking form of bold camouflage to confuse enemy attackers.

Use this wonderfully oddball idea to confuse your opponent and evade attacks on your fleet with this new version of the ever-popular battleships game. Includes two 64-page map-and-grid books for playing the game and a 16-page booklet explaining the history of the dazzle ships and the artistic inspiration behind them.

For two players aged six and up.
