A brief research in board games shows remarkable facts about the history of board games, the oldest is said to date back to 3500 BC, this board game was called "Senet" which in ancient Egyptian translates to "passing game" ever since the first board entertainment games were invented they have evolved into more interesting forms which have been spread all over the world with the power of the internet.

The rules and instructions to this game are quite easy, it is played in a double board setting which is divided by a similar vertical board where players can keep track of the attacks they have made on the opponent through a square tracking system. The goal is to try to find the exact position of your enemy's ships and sink them before they sink yours. When a player finds one ship he/she can keep on firing until a shot is missed, then it's your opponent turn to try to take on your fleet.

The fleet consists of 5 vessels they are: an aircraft carrier which is often easy to take down due to its five square size, then we have a battleship which is somewhat easy to target because it covers 4 squares, a cruiser covers three squares, the submarine covers 3 and can be quite hard to find and last but not least we have the patrol boat which covers two squares and can be a nightmare if you have found all others but not this one.
