Setup

1. Install Batteries: Locate the battery compartment on the underside of the main game unit. Insert 3 AA batteries (not included), ensuring correct polarity. Secure the battery compartment cover.
2. Unfold Game Unit: Carefully unfold the game unit to reveal the two playing grids and the central electronic console. Each player will have their own grid.
3. Distribute Pegs: Separate the red "hit" pegs and white/yellow "miss" pegs into their respective storage compartments within the game unit.
4. Place Ships: Each player takes their set of 5 ships (Carrier, Battleship, Destroyer, Submarine, Patrol Boat). Strategically place your ships on your lower grid (your ocean grid) by inserting them into the holes. Ships cannot overlap and must be placed horizontally or vertically. You can use the provided layout cards for quick setup or create your own custom layout.
5. Prepare Target Grid: The upper grid (target grid) is where you will mark your shots. Ensure it is clear of pegs before starting the game.

   • Opponent's Turn: Your opponent will announce if your shot hit one of their ships. If it did, they will place a red peg on their ocean grid. If it missed, they place a white/yellow peg.
