Description
The classic battleship game for 1 player only. Players (human and computer) each place their ships on their own 10x10 grid. Horizontally, vertically, or diagonally (still uses the same number of squares). Ships do not move during play. Players can take multiple shots per round based on which ships are not sunk. Battleships (5 long) fire 3 shots. Cruisers (3 long) fire 2 shots. Destroyers (2 long) fire 1 shot. Players have 2 destroyers to start with, thus 7 total shots until their 1st ship is sunk. The player that has all their ships sunk 1st, loses. This version of the game never shows a visual representation of the grid.
