Cancel Save. The gameplay is straightforward. Each player hides ships on a plastic grid containing vertical and horizontal space coordinates. Players take turns calling out row and column coordinates on the other player's grid in an attempt to identify a square that contains a ship.
The game board each player gets has two grids: an upper and lower grid. The lower grid is used by the player to "hide" the location of his own ships, while the upper grid is used to record the shots fired toward the opponent and to document whether those shots were hits or misses.
Each player receives a game board and five ships of varying lengths. Each ship has holes where the "hit" pegs are inserted and a supply of hit and miss markers white and red pegs.
The five ships are:. The two players should be positioned so they face each other across a game table. Their target grids back up to one another vertically so that neither player can see his opponent's ocean grid and ship locations.
Before the game starts, each opponent secretly places their own five ships on the ocean grid lower part of the board by laying out their ships and anchoring them into the holes on the grid. Each ship must be placed horizontally or vertically across grid spaces—not diagonally—and the ships can't hang off the grid. Ships can touch each other, but they can't occupy the same grid space. You cannot change the position of the ships after the game begins. Players take turns firing shots by calling out a grid coordinate to attempt to hit the opponent's enemy ships.
On your turn, call out a letter and a number that identifies a row and column on your target grid. Your opponent checks that coordinate on their ocean grid and verbally responds "miss" if there is no ship there, or "hit" if you have correctly guessed a space that is occupied by a ship.
Mark each of your shots or attempts to fire on the enemy using your target grid upper part of the board by using white pegs to document your misses and red pegs to register your hits. As the game proceeds, the red pegs will gradually identify the size and location of your opponent's ships. When it is your opponent's turn to fire shots at you, each time one of your ships receives a hit, put a red peg into the hole on the ship corresponding to the grid space.
