HOW TO PLAY
1

Each player draws two identical grids on paper, labeling rows and columns with letters and numbers.

2

Secretly mark several ships of different lengths on your own grid without showing your opponent.

3

Take turns calling out grid coordinates to fire at your opponent's hidden ships, marking hits and misses on your second tracking grid.

4

Your opponent tells you whether each called coordinate is a hit or a miss, and announces when an entire ship has been sunk.

5

The first player to sink every one of their opponent's ships wins.
