Sea Battle
Hide your fleet, find theirs, sink it.
Each player secretly arranges their ships on a grid, then the two admirals fire blind at each other, square by square. Hit, sunk, miss: work out where the enemy fleet is hiding before your own goes to the bottom.

Rules
Objective
Sink all your opponent's ships before you lose your own.
Setting up
Each player places five ships on a 10 by 10 grid: a carrier (5 squares), a cruiser (4), a destroyer (3), a submarine (3) and a patrol boat (2).
Ships are placed horizontally or vertically and may not overlap. Your opponent cannot see your grid.
Firing
Players take turns targeting one square of the enemy grid. The shot is called a “miss” or a “hit”. A ship with every square hit is “sunk”, and its position is revealed.
End of the game
The first player to sink all five enemy ships wins.
