It seems to be based on the box rather than the actual game inside.
Maybe it's based on the commercials. There will be a bunch of humans and aliens yelling at each other, "You sank my battleship!"

Shutter Island was fantastic. Yeah, just reading that others had figured it out in the first ten minutes led me to muse the possible directions, and I nailed it, but I wasn't sure I was right until the movie laid it out. And for all that, I enjoyed the hell out of it. The movie nicely avoided the usual letdown that accompanies revelations and explanations. For me, at least. I was deeply satisfied at the end of the movie.
One thing that I am not sure about is George Noyce and his mention of how he had gotten out once but not twice, and it was Leo's fault. How much of Leo's story about George was true? I'm sure it doesn't really matter. But it's Jackie Fricking Haley, so I'm intrigued by the character.

Juliebird, that the type of question I wasn't sure about reading the book, that is, since he is basically imagining the whole scenario, how much of what you have read/seen over the course of the story is true.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

megan, I wonder because everything else George says seems to come from the perspective of reality, rather than roleplaying. I mean, maybe it was a mix of both, but there's the fact that many of the players were knowingly playing a role in order to enable the delusion. And here's this guy trying to tell him the truth.
I had heard the book was a lot more ambiguous than the movie, and I feel pretty comfortable with what I think I know in the movie. Except this one part.
