PLAYED FOR YOU

Battleship Kartenspiel

Red peg cards against a destroyer

In this version of the classic deduction game ships are found, hit and sunk with peg and power cards.

First you sort your deck into Coordinate Cards and Destruction Cards. The Coordinate Cards, made up from five ships and seven miss cards, are shuffled and laid out face down in a 3x4 grid. The Destruction deck, which contains peg cards and power cards, is shuffled and then you draw five cards from the face-down stack. In each turn you choose a peg or power card from your hand, resolve the card and draw a card. When you play a white pin card you choose a card in your opponent’s grid, which he must reveal. If this card is a miss card, nothing happens. If the card is a ship, it has been found and its special power is activated. In further turns you play red peg cards for hits on this ship to sink it; you need as many hit marks on the red peg cards played to the ship as are shown on the ship card. Ship powers are: Submarine - can only be attacked with white peg cards; PT Boat - takes away one peg card of any of your ships; Destroyer - you can attack opposing ships with red and white peg cards; Battleship - increases the value of all peg cards in play by +1; Aircraft Carrier - Draw up to seven cards for your hand at the end of your turn. Power cards bring shields, or let you draw more cards in hand or play two cards or repair a ship by taking away a peg card. If you are first to sink all opposing ships, you win.

In this card version of Battleship the deduction or guessing element has been strongly reduced compared to the board version, the focus is now on the clever use of cards in combination with the ship powers.
