Sea Battle: goal and players

How to play: rules
- Each of you has five ships: 5, 4, 3, 3 and 2 squares long. Lay them across or down; they can’t overlap or leave the grid.
- Drag a ship to move it, tap it to turn it, or tap Shuffle for a random layout, then press Ready. Both of you place at the same time.
- When the placement clock runs out, your fleet is locked in as it stands.
- Then take turns firing one shot at a square of the enemy grid. A hit doesn’t earn an extra shot: turns always alternate.
- A white splash is a miss, a red flame is a hit. When every square of a ship is hit it sinks and is shown to both of you.
- Sink all five enemy ships first to win.
- Your own fleet is the small map; tap it to see it big.

History & origins
Sea Battle comes from the pencil-and-paper naval guessing tradition known as Battleship, played before plastic commercial sets became common.
Each player hides ships on a coordinate grid and calls shots at the other grid. Information accumulates from hits and misses.
Commercial editions helped popularise it during the 20th century. Jawna’s version keeps the hidden-fleet deduction format on a shared digital table.
