Publisher's Synopsis
Battleships is a solitaire version of the classic strategy game in which you must locate and sink a hidden fleet. The numbers indicate the number of squares in each row/column that contain a ship or ship segment. Clues may indicate water, specific ships, or parts of ships. Circles indicate submarines (one-square ships). Semicircles indicate ends of larger ships. Large squares indicate ship middles. Diamonds are unspecified ship pieces. The complete list of ships is shown on the right side of the puzzle. No ship may touch another ship, even diagonally. Occasionally some squares may contain given ship or water segments as hints to help start the puzzle. The object is to discover where all ships are located.
