BattleTabs
BattleTabs gives you the familiar grid battleship feel but adds depth via unique ships, special skills, and more tactical choices. You place ships hidden from your opponent, then take turns striking their grid, using abilities, and trying to outwit them.
How to Play BattleTabs
You begin by selecting or unlocking a fleet of ships. You then place them on your grid (by dragging or flipping) in hidden positions. Once both players are ready, the match starts. You click on tiles in the opponent’s grid to attack. Missed shots can reveal information about how far the nearest ship is, which helps narrow placement possibilities.
Some ships have special abilities (e.g. reveal, sonar, area attacks). These are limited by cooldowns, so you can’t use them every turn.
Matches come in two styles: intense (fast turns) or casual (longer turn time, can last days).
The goal is to sink all of your opponent’s ships before they sink yours.
