Battleship (game)

The game Battleship is a guessing game played by two people. Although made popular in the USA by a boardgame published by the Milton Bradley Company[?], it was played as a pencil and paper game before being printed as a board game.

Each player starts with a blank grid, on which they place a number of ships. Usually five ships are used, with each taking up an amount of squares on the frid, usually descending from five. Each player takes turns taking shots, by calling out the coordinates of the square they wish to attack. The other player must call out whether the shot was a hit or miss.
