Not Worth The Effort (2009-06-09)
I bought this to play with my five year-old daughter. I tend to prefer games that can include more than two people, but I thought that this would be good for teaching some simple strategies. Unfortunately, the game is just too boring. While my daughter easily understood the game play, she and I both were done after just finding a couple of each others boats. It just takes too long and doesn't compete with the many entertainment options.

As for construction, I will confirm other reviewer comments that the build quality is poor. I remember that in my old game, the pegs would sit firmly in the holes. Now, with a simple move of the board, pegs can fall down, causing you to lose your place. They also don't sit well in the boat pieces. I also received a number of crooked pieces, making them useless.

I can't imagine how anyone wouldn't be disappointed by this game. You may get a few good rounds with it, but don't be surprised if it quickly ends up in the closet collecting dust.

Great fun for kids of all ages. Great for developing basic cognitive awareness and fun for adults to play with children, too.

A good, fun game for the whole family. definitely recommend it! (2009-01-14)

great toy for 8 years old. The battle over the sea make kids excited. But I expect more logic training from the game and I didn't find much.
