3 Stars fun game
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.

2 Stars Not Worth The Effort
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.
