Battleship

The naval classic for two players. Secretly arrange five ships on your grid, then take turns calling shots at your opponent's waters. Hits, misses and sunk ships are shown to everyone, but fleets stay hidden until the game ends, so spectators can watch the battle without spoiling it.

2 players, spectators welcome

How to play

  1. Two players sit down. Everyone else can watch and chat.
  2. Place your five ships on your grid: pick a ship, rotate it if you like, and click where it goes. Or press Randomize.
  3. When both players press Ready, the battle begins.
  4. Take turns firing at a square on your opponent's grid. You're told if it's a hit, a miss, or a sunk ship.
  5. Sink all five enemy ships first to win. After a game either player can start a rematch.
