Battleship; new school vs. old school.

Animal Chess – great transition to strategic board games
Posted on June 30, 2010 | 2 CommentsAnimal chess is a traditional Chinese board game. As far as rules go, it’s between checkers and chess in complexity. Our son has been interested in playing chess, but he doesn’t really comprehend all the rules yet. We’ve found Animal Chess to be a great […] -
