joshi tm: I will have to find the game suggestion - think I posted it on the battleboat board before, but would love to see a variant where the player gets to choose their game set before the start. That is instead of each player getting (1) 5 boat, (1) 4 boat, (2) 3 boats, and (1) 2 boat - they can choose different things, like a 4 square platform piece, and other possible odd-shaped pieces. Each player will have the same total amount of spaces being used, but each player does not know what type of pieces they are looking for.
