Battleship
This is another childhood favorite that has not diminished with age. This game is as fun now as it was in grade school.
“Battleship” has a lot to do with strategy and luck. You have to strategically place your pieces on the grid so they won’t get “hit” and you have to use that and a little bit of luck to do your darndest to sink your opponent’s ships. It can get pretty tense when both players only have one ship left, and one wrong move (or right move depending upon your situation) can end the game.
Fun: Like I said earlier, this is a childhood favorite of mine. When it was raining outside during recess, we would always play this in the classroom. “Connect Four” tournaments and “Battleship” tournaments were the norm when I was in grade school.
Educational: “Battleship” is essentially a thinking game, although a little bit of luck plays into it, too. Both players really have to use their smarts to come out the victor in this game. Seasoned veterans know all too well how strategy can cripple a rookie opponent.
Durability: Both game pieces are like a mini-laptop in a hard plastic casing. So it is indeed very durable. The only thing that could cause a problem are the little red and white pegs with which you mark the game board. These can be a hassle to pick up if a game board is dropped and it accidently opens up, sending zillions of little pegs rolling around on the floor. These can also be a choking hazard to young people, so that needs to be taken into account as well.
If you love games that will make you think, or you are just someone looking for a fun challenge, “Battleship” is a great game to pick up. The only prerequisite: swimming lessons in case the ship you’re on goes down.

I don’t like this. It’s just finding other people’s ships. I mean, it’s just like the game of memory!!! That game stinks. I don’t like this. (Sorry if you like this game a lot)

A really great game. It can be played long distance over the internet, which makes it a great tool for keeping in touch. Good buy.

My 8 year old son and I play this sometimes and we have fun, but he doesn’t want to play it too often. My 6 year old son only wants to play after he sees his big brother play. He likes it for a few minutes, but then starts to lose interest. My 3 year old likes to throw handfuls of the little pieces after we’ve been playing too long and she gets bored. Overall, it’s a good strategy game that takes a little too long for young kids to play. A little too long for Mommy too.
