In order to sink every opponent’s ship, players arrange their fleet on a grid and alternately guess the coordinates of their opponents’ ships. Its allure is in the way it combines strategy and chance as players figure out where enemy vessels are. Because of the thrill of the chase, its tactical gameplay, and its tense gameplay, Battleship has remained a beloved game.
