Board Game Arena

Oh, nifty! I got this game for my birthday and now it's here. I was coming to think of it as somehow my own thing that only I'd heard of... so this feels kind of like my heart being opened to the world. But in a good way?

We'll see, I guess! I shall look for some games to join.

Yes, I like that idea. Maybe it could be just a cross instead of a whole 3x3 square. Or maybe you could do it as many times as you like, but you have to give up an entire undamaged ship to do it!

I don't agree that the game is based on just luck or mind reading. There are concerns for minimizing the number of spaces you have to check, such as the common strategy of shooting a checkerboard pattern to sift for destroyers. But including one-square ships greatly decreases what strategy there is,...
