| Elden | 10 | 6 | Some | This is a great introductory board game. Every kid should play it a few times (at least I think so). As time goes on, this game takes more of a back seat to other more exciting, fun, and strategic games. |
| pikkusiili2000 | 9 | 5 | Yes | Excellent way to teach basic strategy and pattern recognition to kids. Also fun to make alarms and missle sounds as you play. |
| Randy Cox | 9 | | | I really enjoyed this a lot as a kid (rougly 10 years old). I suspect it will have lost a little luster when competing against video games and the lot. |
| Shade_Jon | 9 | | | A classic game of hunt and peck. Part of the fun s arranging the grid before hand. Kids love to make the explosion sounds when you hit. Lots of little pieces, however, which often get lost. |
| slapdash | 9 | 6 | Yes | I loved this as a kid and now, my daughter loves it. Great kid's game. |
| Thommy8 | 9 | | | Fabulous kids game. Simple enough for them to grasp, but interesting, fun, and quick enough for adults to be able to put up with. |
| Admiral Fisher | 8 | | | Great for teaching kids about co-ordinates and also they can play it with just squared paper and a pencil. It really comes into its own with an electronic version. The sound effects are super! |
| Aranza | 8 | | | Suitable for under 7 and up, I think. Kids need to be able to handle the small pieces, keep track of moves themselves and handle letters and numbers comfortably. A basic for a two player library. |

| boltongeordie | 8 | 6 | Some | A classic simple, introductory board game for kids. Good for coaching them into discovering more effective guessing strategies and playable with pieces of paper and pencils. |
| Duglis | 8 | | | Teaches your kid deductive reasoning and it is very exciting and tense for young children. I loved this one as a kid myself! |
| gaharoni | 8 | | | A favorite. Planning, strategising, and enough combat to keep everyone happy. |

| jandrews | 8 | 6 | Yes | We played this and played it and played it! Small pieces get lost easily, however. |
| laraberrycross | 8 | 6 | Some | Teaches strategy and deduction. Can take too long sometimes. |
| mawiker | 8 | 6 | Yes | |
| mcross | 8 | 6 | Some | Easy to cheat, but lots of fun. |
| runehardt | 8 | 6 | Yes | Still a staple in our game closet. My two daughters favor the electronic talking Star Wars version right now but occasionally still play the classic game. I know they also have it at the YMCA after school facility and it gets played there almost daily. I think repeat play is the best testiment of a quality game. |
| wkusau | 8 | 7 | Yes | Wonderful game until someone realizes that cheating is possible. For parents playing with younger kids this can help you keep the game even but for a I hate to lose older kid playing against a younger kid it can be a problem. |
| Bigeeh | 7 | 6 | Yes | Fun introductory boardgame. Quite thematic for a game of it's time. The little ships are pretty cool. The little red & white explosion plums are fiddily and easy to drop or loose. Uses deductive skills both to place your ships & find the others. |
