"Sink-Em" is a great new idea for an invention which would make it easier for kids to enjoy themselves in the pool or bath tub during playtime. The game incorporates plastic toy ships such as "aircraft carriers", "destroyers", "submarines", "tugboats" and seaplanes that float in the water. The ships have a series of plugs or plastic pins in their top sections so they can be pulled to let a controlled amount of water enter the ship by the children during the game. The kids throw sponge missiles or other "bomb-like" sponges at the ships and, when a ship is hit, a plastic pin or plug is them pulled from the top of the ship and this causes the ship to begin slowly sinking. The idea is to sink your opponents ships faster then yours are sunk. This is a great idea for kids who like to incorporate both tossing/ throwing games as well as imaginary "war-games' in the bathtub or pool. The tub toys are about 1/3 scale from the full size pool toys. "Sink-EM" presents a great new potential for the water/ pool game category.
