Battleship Board Game

The battleship board game is a wonderful game for the family to play. To play you only need the board game and one other person to play it with.

In addition to your board you each get two carriers, two battleships, two cruisers, two submarines, and two destroyers.

You also get two different kinds of markers red markers and white markets.

You put these ships on your board in a random order that you decide, your opponent does the same. Your opponent cannot see where your ships are.

To Play

To play you call out a spot on the other player’s board. For example, B4. The other player looks at B4 and will tell you either hit or miss.

If it is a hit that player puts a red marker in that spot of their ship. If it is a miss that player puts a white marker in the water. You also have a separate board where you can mark if you hit or a missed your opponents ship.

Then your opponent calls out a spot on your board, and you repeat.

Sinking a Ship

You sink an opponent’s ship when all holes on the ship are filled with a marker. You also MUST tell your opponent when he has sunk one of your ships.

Winning the game

You win the game when all of your opponent’s ships are sunk and you still have at least 1.

Tip

Don’t put all your ships in 1 area, because if you do it only takes 1 hit for him to find out where all your ships are.
