Play BattleshipHow to play Battleship
- Placement. You secretly place your fleet (1 ship of 4, 2 of 3, 3 of 2 and 4 of 1 square) — drag and rotate, or hit “Random”; ships never touch, not even diagonally. Firing starts once both players are ready.
- Firing. On your turn you pick a square on your opponent's grid — "hit" or "miss"; a hit gives you another shot.
- Sinking. Hit all the squares of a given ship and it's sunk.
- Winning. The player who's first to sink the opponent's entire fleet wins.
