Play Online Boat Battles
Boat Battles turns a simple grid into a hunt for hidden ships. Each player places a fleet across rows and columns. Every ship spans a set number of squares. You align vessels in straight lines. You keep your layout secret. You use a second grid to track shots on the opponent.
You take a turn, call a coordinate, and mark the result. A hit means a ship sits there. A miss clears that space and narrows the map. You sink a vessel by hitting all its parts. Strong play mixes memory with spotting patterns. Sharp placement breaks habits and slows the search.
The appeal comes from steady tension on every shot. You scan the board, study gaps, and follow trails of hits. Some players favor edges and corners. Others spread ships through the middle to break guesswork. House rules add uneven boards, special attacks, or different fleet sizes. You can face a friend or test skills against a computer rival.
