Battleship Game
Did you know you can make your own Battleship game? Before the toy company made plastic and electronic versions, versions of the game were played as a board game or pen and paper game, before WWI, in the early 1900s.
Download and print two copies of the grid, one for you and one for your opponent.
The fleets have five ships each, and the numbers displayed are the number of grid spaces for each ship, e.g., Aircraft Carrier, 5 spaces. Use a pencil to put a dot marking where each ship is on the grid for “My Fleet”. Don’t peek at each other’s! The ships go up and down or across, not diagonally.
Then take turns guessing a grid space, “B-3?” Your opponent will say hit (mark your opponent fleet grid with an X) or miss. Tell each other once your ship is sunk, (all the spaces for that ship are hit). Whoever takes out his opponent’s fleet first is the winner!
