Object

Be first to sink your opponent's ships by bouncing balls into their territory.

Set It Up

Set up the game as shown in the pictured assembly steps on the instruction sheet (Figure 8 shows the finished set-up).

Let's Play!

1. Set up game as shown in Figure 8. Bounce or throw your balls one at a time over the divider. Try to land them in your opponent's battleships. Decide in advance if you want to bounce simultaneously or take turns.
2. The first player to land an orange ball in their opponent's battleship or yellow life raft can immediately bounce the red ball.
3. If the red ball lands in your opponent's life raft, you win instantly, even if your opponent has sunk more of your ships. (If the red ball lands in a battleship, though, treat it just as you would an orange ball.)
4. If the red ball misses, it can be claimed by either player.
5. If your shot backfires and lands in one of your battleships, leave it there. It counts against you!

How to Win

Sink all of your balls into your opponent's ships and life raft first to win! Or, sink the red ball into your opponent's life raft. This is an automatic win.
