MB Games Battleship

Battleship is a world-renowned strategy board game with roots dating back to World War I as a 'pencil and paper' game. It was first published in its modern board game form by Milton Bradley (MB Games) in 1967. Over the decades, it has become a staple of tabletop gaming, evolving from plastic grids and pegs to various electronic and digital versions.

The MB Games brand was an iconic line within the Milton Bradley Company, a major American game manufacturer. In 1984, Milton Bradley was acquired by Hasbro, which consolidated several legendary toy and game brands under its corporate umbrella. Historically, many MB Games products for the European market were manufactured at Hasbro's major production facility in Waterford, Ireland, though global production shifted increasingly to East Asia in later years.

Today, Battleship remains a flagship property of Hasbro. The brand continues to be a cornerstone of the company's gaming portfolio, maintained by Hasbro's headquarters in Rhode Island, USA, while distribution and marketing are handled by various international subsidiaries depending on the region.
