Battleship Royale
16-captain free-for-all — sink everyone
Battleship Royale blows the classic two-player duel into a 16-captain free-for-all. Everyone places a fleet, then each round you fire a single shot at any rival on the board. Hits and misses are public — a red peg means you found a hull, a white peg means you wasted a shot — so the whole table can see who's wounded.
That open information turns it into a game of alliances and targeting: pile onto a damaged captain to finish them, or stay quiet and let others draw fire. Sink all of a rival's ships to eliminate them, and keep your own fleet afloat to win. The host grid auto-sizes so every captain's board stays visible no matter how many are playing.
How to play Battleship Royale
- 1Place your fleet, then fire one shot per round at anyone
- 2Red peg = hit, white peg = miss — damage is public
- 3Sink every ship to eliminate a rival; last fleet floating wins
Tips & strategy
- Spread your ships out — clustered fleets get wiped once someone finds the first hull.
- Gang up on a captain who's already taken hits to remove them from the game.
- Public pegs cut both ways; flying under the radar keeps you off the target list.
