Haven't played since school? Here is the basic flow:
Battleship has a bit of luck, but you can heavily tilt the odds in your favor if you stop guessing blindly.
When someone lands a hit, they're going to hunt the surrounding squares immediately. If you cluster your fleet together, they’ll accidentally stumble onto your next ship. Space them out to waste their turns.
Statistically, people love hiding their biggest warships right in the central 4x4 zone. Firing a few early shots there usually yields a faster hit.
Instead of random clicks, fire at intervals - hitting every other square like the dark spaces on a chessboard. It lets you cover the whole board with the fewest possible shots. Hidden ships won't be able to stay safe for long.

A lot of school and office Wi-Fi networks block gaming sites by default. We kept our code incredibly lightweight and clean, meaning it safely bypasses most standard network filters. You can play a quick match during lunch breaks without lag or issues.
If you're playing online and your opponent disconnects or closes their tab, the game ends and you'll get the win by forfeit. No one likes a rage-quitter.
No, the computer doesn't peek at your grid. On harder difficulties, the AI just uses advanced mathematical algorithms - like the checkerboard strategy and probability maps - to guess your ship locations faster based on its previous hits.
