BATTLESHIP (The Original Naval Combat Game on Kindle.) by Electronic Arts ($4.99)

Product Description
The iconic naval battle game BATTLESHIP, reloads on Kindle!

In the classic board game BATTLESHIP, two players place 5 ships onto a grid hidden from their opponent. Each player then selects one of their opponents grid coordinates to attack. If part of an opponent ship is on that grid coordinate, it takes a hit. Once all the spaces a ship occupies have been hit, the ship sinks. Sink all of your opponent's ships and you win.

In BATTLESHIP for Kindle, play in the classic game mode as well as two new game modes; Salvo, and Super-weapons. In Salvo, you get to make as many attacks per turn as you have ships remaining. In Super-weapons mode, you can launch strikes that create devastating patterns with multiple shots in a single attack. Demonstrate strategic and tactical skills to unlock new Super-weapons and improve your rank from Seaman to fully-fledged Admiral.

Play solo, or with a friend in Pass 'n' Play mode, and discover the new fun in this timeless game.

Product Description

From the creator of the Digested Read comes a hilarious take on the life of the obsessive football fan of a team that almost always disappoints. Years of underachievement. A heroic sense of injustice. A seemingly infinite capacity for self-destruction. John Crace and Spurs were made for each other--until the team started to play like possible champions.
