About This Game

Battleship is a classic two-player strategy game where players take turns trying to sink each others fleet of ships. Each player has their own hidden grid where they place their ships, and they call out coordinates to attack their opponents ships. The goal is to sink all of the opponents ships by hitting every square they occupy before they can do the same to you.

The objective of Battleship is to sink all of your opponents ships before they sink yours. Each ship occupies a specific number of consecutive squares on a grid, and players must call out coordinates to guess where the opponents ships are located.

Each player has two grids: one for placing their own fleet of ships and one for tracking their guesses against the opponent.

Ships vary in size, ranging from 2 to 5 squares long. Each player places their ships on their grid either horizontally or vertically, hidden from their opponents view.
