Battleship (game): Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

The most common setup gives each player one two-peg destroyer (formerly a patrol boat), one three-peg submarine, one three-peg cruiser (formerly the destroyer), one four-peg battleship, and one five-peg aircraft carrier, which are arranged on the flat board in an arrangement of the player's choosing. Each turn, one player says where he's firing his shot; the other declares whether they miss or hit (you can place pegs in the ships when they hit), whether a ship is sunk, and the type of ship. The last player with at least one ship on the board wins. One game variant allows the player to fire as many shots as they have ships still afloat.

* [[Recycled in Space]]: There's a [[Star Wars]] tie-in edition, with a hexagonal space grid and computerized hit/miss notation.

* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: Some of the possible ship arrangements.

* [[Stuff Blowing Up]]: Some versions of the board game even make explosion sounds, which probably helps keep players honest.
