How to Play
Each player arranges their fleet of five ships on the hidden grid. Take turns calling out coordinates (like "B-4") to fire a shot. Your opponent says "hit" or "miss" — track hits with red pegs and misses with green pegs. Sink all of your opponent's ships to win. The Salvo rule lets advanced players launch up to five strikes in a single turn, speeding up the action.
Portable Battle Cases
Both cases double as storage units. Ships and pegs fit neatly inside, making this edition easy to carry to a friend's house or on vacation. No loose pieces to lose.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Salvo feature?
In Salvo mode, you can attack multiple times per turn — once for each ship you still have afloat. It adds a faster, more tactical layer for experienced players.
Is this game appropriate for young children?
The recommended age is 7 and up due to small pegs that could be a choking hazard. Adult supervision may be needed for younger players.
How do you keep score?
There is no point system — the winner is the first to sink all five opponent ships. Red and green pegs help you remember where you've already fired.
Battleship remains a top choice for family game night, travel, and gifts. Its mix of luck and deduction keeps every round engaging for kids and adults alike.
