Hi! I'm Finn and I sink ships. We each get a 10 × 10 sea with ten ships in it: one battleship, two cruisers, three destroyers and four submarines. Ships may not touch, not even at the corners. We take turns shooting – if you hit, you shoot again. Whoever sinks the whole fleet first wins. Tell me your name, pick how hard it should be, and let's set sail!
The classic battleship game the way it's played at school on the back page of a squared notebook. Each player has a 10 × 10 sea and ten ships: a battleship, two cruisers, three destroyers and four submarines. Hits are crossed out in red pen. Nothing to install, a browser is all you need.
Finn has three difficulty levels: easy shoots blind, medium finishes what it hits, hard works out where ships can still be hiding. We take turns starting each game and keep score with tally marks.
Logged-in players can challenge each other and play live, with chat. Finn cheers for both.
Rules: ships may not touch, not even at the corners. If you hit, you shoot again. Whoever sinks the opponent's whole fleet first wins. More about the game and the rules
