FG: Battleships

The size should be somewhat smaller; 9+(players/2) would probably be better. That is in line with original battleship (9+2/2) and doesn't grow too rapidly - remember the size will be increasing by an increasing amount

Isn't the original battleship 10x10? And that is for each map
That makes ~80% of the map empty

While if we use your idea for two players it'll be ~60 of the map that is empty


With ~80 tiles empty in the original game for each player, that makes ~160 empty tiles for two players, while with my idea it's ~100 empty tiles for two players. You idea only has ~60 empty tiles for two players


Or do I remember wrong about the map size in battleships?

Hopefully not something along an 'I see no ships' line.

I have trained you well, however it was more along the lines of "You sunk the Battleship (thread)".

Random thoughts.

1 ocean for each team.
Varying number of shots based on ship size. Bigger ships get more shots but are easier to hit.
Free choice of ship size by players. Destroyer fleet vs Battleship fleet for example.

I'm glad you avoided that.
