A Brief History of Battleship

Battleship's origins can be traced back to the early 1900s, where it was initially played as a birthday party game by two 12-year-old friends. Since then, this strategic guessing game has evolved and been adapted for numerous platforms, including the mobile app and virtual reality.

In 1967, Milton Bradley published the game commercially, naming it "Battleship". Since then, it's become a global phenomenon, beloved by millions around the world.

How to Play Battleship

Battleship is a two-player game, played on hidden grid maps, representing naval battles. The objective is to guess the location of the opponent's ships and sink them before they sink yours.

Each player arranges their ships on a 5x5 or a 10x10 grid. Every square can contain a part of a ship or be empty. Players take turns calling out grid coordinates. If the opponent's square contains a ship, they must say "Hit!" If it's empty, they say "Miss!"
