Battleship - awful game with sexist illustration

I read the cover illustration as dated, but it is clearly being marketed toward boomer boys; fathers who were veterans and probably not very interested in playing with them. To me, It says, “pissed that your sister and mother have such a good relationship (see them doing things together?), but your dad doesn’t want to play with you? Now you can get some attention from dad by playing a game that you both relate to”. It says more about the sexist world and an attempt to sell boys (and maybe their mothers) a relationship with their fathers.
