Sea Battle is the classic naval strategy game of hidden fleets. Your ships are placed on a grid your opponent can't see, and you take turns calling shots to try to sink each other's fleet first.
Take turns clicking a square on the opponent's grid to fire. A hit is marked in red, a miss in white. Sink every ship in the opposing fleet before your own fleet goes down to win.
After a hit, probe the four neighbouring squares to find the ship direction. Search in a checkerboard pattern, since no ship is shorter than two squares.
Sea Battle began as a pencil-and-paper game played in the early twentieth century before it became a commercial board game.
