Battleship

Pros: The title says it all. It's a game of strategy and hitting ships.
Cons: It sometimes drags on and gets boring.

This is only a two player game for those who don't like the big family games like monopoly.

*THE OBJECT*

The object of the game is to sink each others five ships before the other player does.
