Dreamspark has secured rights to the Bataille Navale name in France.

It spawned a 2012 movie as well as videogames and other merch.

Dreamspark is now launching the format internationally.

He said this show fits that trend: Its a game universally known to all generations.

The adaptation into a TV format is visually impressive in its set-up.

Imagine an XXL version of the board game, several meters high.

And the gameplay is highly interactive, allowing viewers to play-along a lot at home too.
