noun

Battleship is a classic two-player guessing game that involves a grid of squares. The objective is to sink the opposing player's ships by correctly guessing the locations of the ships on the grid. Players take turns making guesses, marking squares as "hit" if they contain a ship, and "miss" if they do not. The player who sinks all of their opponent's ships first wins the game. This game can be played on a physical board or on a computer or mobile device.
