When I grew up, my parents never really spoiled us. We got toys, but I remember thinking to myself – the number of toys I got vs. my friends was very unbalanced. One toy I did have that I remember giving me hours and hours of joy, was my battleship game. I would bring it with me all over the place. My dad and I would spend hours playing each other on the weekend. It just provided me with do many great memories growing up.
When I saw that the game was up for the Toy Hall of Fame this year, I had to share the news! But its not just Battleship!
12 toys will be entered into the National Toy Hall of Fame, including classic toys like Battleship, Catan, Cornhole, Connect Four, Furby, Scooter, Slime, Snow, Spirograph, Star Wars Lightsaber, Tickle Me Elmo, and Trivial Pursuit.
The public can vote for their favorites until September 24, with the top three vote-getters forming the “Player’s Choice” ballot. This will be combined with votes from a panel of experts to determine the winners, who will be announced in November.
