The video

The video is narrated and captioned in Hebrew; the transcript below is in English.

Battleship

Battleship inside the room: each player places a fleet of 5 ships on a 10×10 sea, and then you take turns shooting. Your ships are secret, and whoever sinks the opponent's whole fleet wins.

How to start

  1. In a game room: tap "New table", choose Battleship and invite a player from the room. In a regular room, whoever manages the game starts it.
  2. The invited player taps "I'll play" — they have 60 seconds. The server draws who shoots first.
  3. You both place your ships together, for up to 2 minutes: choose a ship and tap the square where it starts, "Rotate" switches the direction, and "Random placement" places everything. Finish with "Ready"; whoever did not finish gets a random placement.

How to play

  1. The fleet: ships of length 5, 4, 3, 3 and 2. Ships may not touch each other, not even diagonally.
  2. On your turn, fire one shot at "Opponent's sea".
  3. The turn always passes to the opponent, even after a hit. When all the squares of a ship have been hit, it has sunk.
  4. Each turn has one minute.
