Fun for the kiddos and parents
This is a fun strategy game that my 7 year old picked out. My husband and I like it and our 4 year old is able to play it as well.
Basically, you set up warriors, weapons, walls, and flags. Then you shoot carrom-like pieces at each other's armies. There are specific rules that keep everyone in order and our games tend to last about 30-45 minutes.
The boys are learning about aiming, force, and angles. they have improved their game and like to play "teams" too.
I just wish that the game came with more extra elastic bands. I have rubber bands, but am looking for more of the 4" elastics.

1986 Game borught back
This game was made for the first time in the 80's and was called crossbows and catapults by Lakeside Games. I played this game for hours on end when I was a kid. The plastic parts are stonger and the knights and Orcs are better made (flexible platic) then the original game. I bought this from Wally World for the same price. Apparently it will be a hot game for the Xmas season as the Tower Expansion set was sold out. My 5-year-old son really enjoys playing this game with dad.

Battlegound game
This is a great game. It does require a large playing area. I ordered it with some of the accessory pieces.
