Latitude/Longitude Battleship Rules of The Game Attach the two game sheets to a clipboard – a portable “desk” that will keep your intel private. Each player must choose one game sheet to represent his/her stealth military invasion- we will call this sheet the “mission sheet”. The player will hide five ships along line intersections using a highlighter or a dark mark. The ships may NOT be placed diagonally and may not overlap each other. The player’s opponent’s moves will be recorded on this sheet. ○ Aircraft Carrier – 5 line intersections ○ Battleship - 4 line intersections ○ Submarine – 3 line intersections ○ Cruiser – 3 line intersections ○ Destroyer - 2 line intersections The second game sheet will be used to record the player’s own moves – we will call it the player’s “intelligence sheet”. Moves on both the mission and intelligence sheets will be represented by an X for a miss (a move that does not locate a hidden ship) or an O for a hit (a move that hits any part of a hidden ship). Each player takes a turn guessing a point using a verbal statement with the lines of latitude and longitude – including the words “degrees” and noting “direction”. Each player will have a script to follow until stating a point of latitude and longitude correctly becomes natural. The game is over when one player sinks all of the other player’s battleships. Earning Full Credit Latitude/Longitude Verbal Script Directions: Use the following script to properly verbalize a location in terms of latitude and longitude. Fill in the blanks with the proper number and direction. Example: “Latitude 40° North and Longitude 110° West” The Script: “Latitude ____° North/South and Longitude ____° East/West”
