Battleship
About Battleship
Battleship is the classic naval guessing game where two fleets face off in hidden waters. You place your ships on a grid, then take turns firing shots at your opponent's grid, trying to locate and destroy every vessel. Play against the AI or pass the device to a friend for a head-to-head duel. Whoever sinks the entire enemy fleet first wins the skirmish.
How to play Battleship
Start by arranging your ships across your grid, spacing them out or clustering them as you see fit. Then call out coordinates to fire at the enemy grid, one shot per turn. A hit means you struck part of a ship; a miss ends your turn. Keep track of hits to figure out a ship's direction and sink it fully. Sink all enemy vessels before your own fleet is destroyed to win.
Tips for playing Battleship
- Spread your ships apart so one lucky guess can't reveal two vessels at once.
- After landing a hit, fire at the squares directly next to it to find the rest of that ship.
- Track your misses on a mental or scratch grid so you don't waste turns repeating them.
