A game that combines the finess of Scrabble and the whimsey of battleship all in one place.

#GAMEPLAY:
Like in Scrabble, each player must begin by drawing 7 letter tiles.
Each player has a sheet of graph paper where they must draw a 15 x 15 battle field to correspond with the 15 x 15 Scrabble board. Each player draws battleships on their respective grids:
— Four one unit ships, 4 x #
— Three two-unit-long ships, 3 x ##
— Two three-unit-long ships, 2 x ###
— One four-unit-long ship, 1 x ####
Carry on and play some Scrabble. As letter tiles are placed on the Scrabble board, the corresponding Battleship grid places are hit. Be sure not to put letters on your own ships’ corresponding places, and once a ship has been “sunk” by the opposing team’s letters, it can be placed on the Scrabble board (as seen in the cartoon above). The Scrabble word score is added to the Battleship score for each ship hit, and landing triple letter and triple word scores double the hit score on the respective battleship. Got it? Yeah, stare at that for a while. Lisa told us it didn’t make any sense.
