RULES: gamerules.com/rules/battleshi...
The object of the game is to be the first player to sink all their opponent’s ships. Each board has two grids: The Ocean grid… and the Target Grid... Sit across from one another, raise your lids so neither player can see the other player’s ocean grid. Now each player places their 5 ships anywhere on their ocean grid horizontally or vertically. The ships may not be positioned diagonally nor may any part of a ship be off the grid.
Alternating turns, one at a time, players attack each other by calling out a position on their targeting grid by matching a row and column. For example: D4. The defender then looks at the corresponding coordinate on his ocean grid, if the space is empty, he replies “Miss”. The attacker puts a white peg into this position on his targeting grid.
If the space has a ship on it, he replies with “Hit” then must specify which ship was hit. The attacker then puts a red peg in the position on his targeting grid. Additionally, the defender puts a red peg into the space of the ship that the attacker hit. Once all the holes in a ship are filled, it has been sunk. The owner of the ship must announce this when it happens.
The first player to sink all their opponent’s ships wins.
For a more challenging variation of the game, on each attacking player’s turn call out 5 different shots on your targeting grid and mark each one with a white peg as its called. Once you’ve finished you, the defender announces which ships were hit. Change those corresponding white pegs to red ones. Whenever one of your ships has been sunk, you lose 1 shot during your attacking turn. So if you’re down to your last ship, you only get 1 shot per turn.
To make the game even more challenging, don’t tell your attacker which ship has been hit. All the other rules are the same, and the first player to sink all their opponent’s ships wins.

Well this game is way simpler than I thought it was

[@deblinasengupta9600]

this game is cool I have this game

[@MTsa-vc8fy]

I know right. I think I can even do this and trust me I'm really bad at games lol

[@nekochan3231]

Wow easier than I thought. Thanks for the neat explanations!

[@ianluetkehans7822]

My dad and I came up with 2 new house rules. 1) Each ship has a white peg in it and if it hit in the white peg the ship goes down 2)the storage places where the ship are held is called the harbor and it becomes a legitimate part of the board

[@EdKolis]

My dad would play on paper if he didn't have the board handy. This opened up new possibilities, like diagonal ships (but ships can't cross each other) and mines (they take up one space and if you hit one then you have to give a free hit on one of your ships to your opponent). I would like a variant where the fleet composition is not fixed but is instead customizable...

[@ianluetkehans7822]

Try battleship chess

You made my problem easy. I didn't know the rules before. I have to implement battleship in computer programming. Thanks. :-)

I never knew how to play yet I have a faint memory of playing it around K-1st grade with other students 😂 I always thought it was more complicated ! No wonder we played it so young , it wasn't hard at all.

I mean, really, it's just setting up and "guessing".

[@numbat0072]

TY good vid . would it be fair to say that the game rests on trust ? if your opponent isn't truthful regarding when a " hit" is successful then the game doesn't work ?

[@LALITTHAKURADVOCATE-]

You can cross check after the game.

[@falcon759]

Thanks bro)

[@taylor26101]

we played this in college except we sat in circle with 5 or 6 players all playing the same map, the map was Drawn out on paper 15 rows by 15 columns or more if needed and some times one hit would hit two different players ships, All shots were call first before announcing any hits and then only what type of ship was hit not which shot hit it.

[@Terryfan]

Battleship is my favorite board game

Hit or Miss, I guess they never miss, huh?

[@PinkyBear]

I found this game for a dollar recently at the flea market.

[@patrickhebenstreit3824]

"Really!?!"- Jetnosfreak

[@andrewbrasfield1104]

It does not matter if you tell them what ship it is... I don't get how not telling them is more challenging..

[@vlogtomejr.1919]

If you cluster multiple ships around adjacent tiles, then you may be able to deceive your opponent as to what ship is sunk.

[@myibmaccount]

If you know the ship type than you know its length and can attack accordingly

[@dragonkinggalaxybowling3d]

Has anyone seen battleship direct hit the slots

[@Cumrel]

I though that not telling wich ship is hitted was a regullar rule

[@alanmartinez6826]

This dude be looking like Alan Walker

[@mitsudafanni7978]

For another variant, move your ship if the opponent calls a coordinate that would be a hit and tell them they missed. Do not tell the other player you are doing this ahead of time. You will always win.

[@PRIMEVAL543]

I have never heard anyone say what ship was hit…

[@AnathexAdventurer]

And I don't see the point in why.
