I just finished playing three games of Battleship Express with my nine year old son. This game is loosely based on the classic Parker Brothers game Battleship, but uses dice and cards instead of the traditional plastic maps and ship modules. The game mechanics are very simplistic and has very little strategy. In fact, about ninety percent of the game is dependent on pure luck (Pray to those dice gods). Battleship Express could be played by most children at an even earlier age than the game suggest (The suggested ages for the game is 7 to adult).
We played three quick games in about twenty-five minutes, with Torin wining all three of the games that we played. He was very excited about winning all three of these games. This is a perfect game for us to break out when he wants to play a game but we only have about twenty minutes. I would highly recommend this game to anyone with young children that want to roll some dice and play a game with Daddy. However, if your looking for a game to play with your gamer buddies, look somewhere else.
