Battleship in a minute
Battleship is a two-player guessing game on 10×10 grids. Place your fleet in secret, call shots at your opponent's grid, and sink every ship to win.
- Place your ships in secret on your own grid.
- Take turns firing at squares on your opponent's grid.
- Use hits and misses to work out where the rest of the fleet is.
- Win by sinking every enemy ship.
Spread your ships out to avoid obvious patterns. When searching, a checkerboard sweep finds ships faster, and after a hit, fire around it until the ship sinks.
What's at the table
The room has what two admirals need, so nobody has to set up a separate call or keep score on paper.

Before you play
Can I play Battleship online with one friend?
Yes. Create a private two-player game and send your friend the invite link. You each play from your own device and browser.
Can I practise Battleship against AI?
Yes. Solo mode gives you a computer-controlled opponent, so you can practise both fleet placement and targeting.
Can my opponent see where I placed my ships?
No. Your fleet grid is private. Your opponent only learns about it from the hits and misses of their own shots.
How do I win?
Sink every ship in your opponent's fleet before they sink yours. A ship sinks once every square it covers has been hit.
Do we need accounts or downloads?
No. Both players open the game in a modern browser, choose a name and start placing ships.
Is it free?
Yes. Private rooms, public matches and games against the AI are all free to play.
