📖 How to Play & Rules – Battleship
- Each fleet consists of 5 ships on a 10×10 grid: Carrier (5), Battleship (4), Cruiser (3), Submarine (3), and Destroyer (2).
- During setup, place and rotate your ships manually or tap 'Randomize Fleet' for instant deployment.
- Take turns firing at coordinates on the enemy radar. Scoring a Hit (💥) grants a bonus shot! Missing into water (🌊) ends your turn.
- The first commander to sink all 5 enemy ships (17 total ship cells) wins.
💡 Strategy Tips & Tricks
- Checkerboard Firing Pattern: Since the smallest ship is 2 cells long, firing in a diagonal checkerboard pattern guarantees finding every ship while cutting wasted shots in half!
- Pass & Play Privacy: In 2-player local mode, a privacy curtain screen appears between turns so players never see each other's hidden ships.
