A classic naval warfare strategy game where players try to sink each other’s fleet of ships.
Description
Battleship is a two-player game played on a grid of squares. Each player has a fleet of ships, and the goal of the game is to sink all of the opponent’s ships before they sink all of yours. Players take turns guessing where their opponent’s ships are located. If a player guesses correctly, they hit the ship and the opponent must mark it as such. If a player guesses incorrectly, they miss and their opponent gets a turn to guess.
