How to play Sink the Fleet

The same walkthrough the table opens with — you can replay it in the game at any time.

Welcome to Sink the Fleet

Two grids: yours, which only you can see, and your opponent's, which you learn about one shot at a time.

Lay out your fleet

Tap a square to drop the next ship there, switch between across and down, or press Scatter to have them placed for you. Press Ready when the whole fleet is out.

Call your shots

Tap a square on the enemy grid. A dark mark is a hit, a pale one a miss. When a ship is hit, its neighbours are suddenly worth a lot more.

That's the game

Sink every enemy ship before yours go down. Spreading your fleet out costs the hunter more shots than lining it up neatly.
