BattleShips Instructions
How to play:
Give each player a pencil and a print-out
of the Battleships game. The top grid is for your own fleet ("My
Ships") and the bottom grid is where you try to locate the other
player's fleet ("Their Ships").
First you decide where to place your own fleet within your grid. A fleet
is made up of one Aircraft Carrier, one Battleship, one Cruiser, two
Destroyers and two Submarines. Each type of ship covers a different
number of boxes in the grid, as shown on the print-out, and is drawn
vertically or horizontally (not diagonally). Ships cannot occupy the
same square.
To place a ship, check how many boxes are covered by the ship (shown to
the left of your grid) and then write the first letter of the name of
the ship in the boxes it covers. For example, a Cruiser covers three
boxes so you would pick any three adjacent boxes and put the letter C in
each box. Keep your fleet location secret from your oponent! When each
player has marked their fleet on their grid, begin play.
Take turns to “shoot” at your opponents’ fleet by calling out the number
of a certain box by its grid location. For example, you could call out
"B4" or "D1". Your opponent must say whether the shot is a "miss" or a
"hit", and, if it is a "hit", what type of ship it is. You can keep
track of what you have shot on your lower grid, and the ships you have
sunk by crossing off the ships at the bottom right of your print-out.
Play continues until one player wins by successfully sinking the whole
of the other player's fleet.
