How it works
Place your fleet
Drag five ships, carrier to destroyer, onto your grid, rotate them, or hit shuffle and let the game place them for you.
Call your shots
Take turns firing at the enemy grid. Your hits show red, misses white, and enemy shots at you appear as X marks on the same board.
A hit earns another shot
Land a hit and you fire again immediately: hot streaks can turn a game around.
Sink the fleet
Finish off a ship and everyone hears about it: "You sank their battleship!" Sink all five to win.
