How to play Battleships

Place your fleet of five ships on your grid, then take turns firing at your opponent's hidden grid, one cell at a time. Each shot is a hit or a miss; sink a ship when you've hit every cell it covers. The first admiral to sink the whole enemy fleet wins. Play against the computer, or pass the phone for two players — a cover screen keeps each fleet secret.

Salvo+ powers

Our twist gives you three special powers with limited uses: a radar ping that tells you whether any ship lurks in a 3×3 area, a three-shot salvo to fire three cells at once, and a one-time move of your submarine to dodge an incoming hunt. Play the CPU on Easy, Normal or Hard.
