Both players mark their ships on their own “My Ships” grid, following the guide above.
The player to go first calls out a division sentence based upon the coordinates they are
guessing. For example, if a player wants to guess 5 over and 4 up, the player would say “20
/ 5 = 4.” In stating a division sentence, remember to first multiply the coordinates in your
head. Take that answer (the product) to start the division problem. Divide the product by the
horizontal, or x-axis numbers. The answer to the division problem will be the number going
up, or y-axis numbers. If the player that is guessing says the wrong division problem, then
the defending player says “misfire” and the turn is over. The other player replies by saying
“hit” or “miss” depending on whether the position called out hit a square covered by one of
their own ships. It is a good idea to cross out the parts of the ships that your enemy has hit.

The player who called out the position should mark a hit or a miss on the “Enemy Ships”
enemy grid to keep track of the shots taken. If the shot is a “hit,” the player continues to call
positions – otherwise the other player takes a turn. If the opposing player has scored hits on
all squares covered by a ship, the defending player must call out, “Hit! You sunk my battleship
(or whatever ship type was sunk).”
The winner of the game is whoever sinks all of the enemy ships first!
