The game begins with players strategically placing their ships on a grid. Each player can choose from different types of battleships and then position them by selecting the desired square on the grid. There are options available to rotate the ships or place them randomly, allowing for varied tactics in the initial setup.
Once the ships are positioned, the game progresses as players take turns firing rockets at their opponent's grid. Each player selects a square to target, and if they hit an enemy ship, they earn the opportunity to continue shooting. This mechanic creates an engaging back-and-forth dynamic, where accuracy and strategy are crucial to success.
When a player successfully hits all segments of a ship, that ship becomes fully visible on their grid, providing valuable information for subsequent moves. This visibility plays a significant role in strategy, as players can better anticipate their opponent's potential actions based on their revealed ships.
The ultimate objective of the game is to eliminate all of the opponent's ships. The first player to achieve this goal by successfully hitting every segment of their rival's ships wins the battle. This straightforward yet strategic approach makes the game both competitive and exciting as players vie for victory.
