Pirates Crossfire
Pirates Crossfire will blow the cobwebs out of your student’s brain. He starts with two different fleets of ships: pirates and navy with cannons mounted only on the sides. Now he must arrange the ships according to the correct mode. In Pirates Crossfire, there are four modes: nobody can fire at each other, the pirates can fire at the navy, the navy can fire at the pirates, and everybody fires at each other. In each situation, all pieces must be used, and while there are many ways to fill the game board, there is only one correct solution. Each of the four Pirates Crossfire modes features 20 challenges from easy to complex, so there are 80 different puzzles to solve. Pirates Crossfire builds planning, spatial insight, problem-solving, concentration, and flexible thinking skills.

    Wonderful Strategy Game

    With 80 challenges to solve, this is one that will keep the kids thinking and strategizing for hours.  We've even taken it in the car with us since it's somewhat portable.

    Pirates Crossfire has four modes of play: nobody can fire at each other, the pirates can fire at the navy, the navy can fire at the pirates, and everybody fires at each other. In each situation, all pieces must be used, and while there are many ways to fill the game board, there is only one correct solution!  The challenges range in difficulty from easy to complex.  This game is absolutely perfect for a rainy day!

    To start, you simply put the rocks/islands where the challenge states and then use the pieces to try and fit them in according to the challenge.  It can be more challenging that you think to get all the pieces to work, plus trying to make sure the cannons aren't pointing the wrong way.

    This game is geared toward ages 7 and up.  My 6 year old found it a bit challenging, but still had fun.  My 11 year old LOVED it!
