Sea battle on paper for two. Sea battle game in notebook rules. Bulls and cows

Look what an interesting next topic. And it was again voiced to us by an anonymous person, but I hope that they just forgot to log in. But let's hear it anyway:

Games on paper (using a piece of paper and a pencil). For one, for two, for company. It’s interesting to read and learn (find out the secrets, if there are such games) to play them.

I am sure that even though these days are computerized and gadget-driven times, there are always situations when you have nothing but friends and a piece of paper. So remember or write it down! There will be both well-known games here, and I hope that there will be new ones for someone. At one time, when, as you understand, there were no computers and mobile phones, I played almost everything!

1. Bulls and cows

The first player thinks of a four-digit number, so that all the digits of the number are different. The goal of the second player is to win back this number. Each move, the guesser names a number, also four-digit and with different numbers. If a digit from the named number is in the guessed number, then this situation is called a cow. If a digit from the named number is in the guessed number and is in the same place, then this situation is called a bull.

For example, the first player thought of 6109, and the second player called 0123. Then the first player should say: one bull and one cow (1b,1k).

Each partner has his or her say. They take turns. The one who guesses the opponent's number first wins.

Executioner is another popular puzzle game designed specifically for two players. For this game you will need blank paper and a pen.

The first player thinks of a word. It must be an existing word, and the player must be confident that the other player knows the word and is familiar with its spelling. It depicts a series of blank spaces needed to write a word. Then he draws the following diagram, which depicts a gallows with a noose.

The game begins when the second player suggests a letter that can be included in this word. If he guesses correctly, the first player writes it in the correct blank space. If there is no such letter in the word, he writes this letter to the side and begins to finish drawing the gallows, adding a circle representing a head to the loop. The opponent continues to guess the letters until he guesses the entire word. For each wrong answer, the first player adds one body part to the gallows.

If the torso is drawn before the opponent can guess the word, the first player wins. If the opponent guesses the word correctly before the entire torso is drawn, he wins, and then it is his turn to think of the word.

3. Tic-tac-toe on an endless field

The expansion of the playing field allows you to free yourself from the predetermination of the result in Tic Tac Toe.

On an endless field (a sheet of paper will do just fine), the players take turns placing their sign (a cross or a zero). The game ends when one of the players wins or if the field runs out.

The winner is the one who manages to line up five of his signs along one line, straight or diagonal.

If you play computer games, then you can easily guess which of them the creators devoted a lot of time to this extended version of tic-tac-toe.

4. Labyrinth

The field can be square or pyramid shaped. If desired, you can come up with more bizarre shapes.

On the playing field, participants take turns placing lines one square long - vertically or horizontally.

The one of the participants who closed the square (placed the fourth line that makes it up) puts his sign (a cross or a zero) in this square and walks again.

The players' task is to place as many of their signs as possible; the one who has more of these signs after completely filling the field wins.

The more complex and larger the field, the more interesting and unpredictable the game.

5. Sea battle

The goal of this game is to destroy enemy objects (ships). Two people play. The events of the game take place on 2 square fields measuring 10x10. One of the fields is yours, the other is your opponent's. On it you place your own objects (ships) and the enemy attacks them. The enemy places his objects (ships) on another field.
Your armed forces, like those of the enemy, contain the following objects (ships):

1 deck (size 1 cell) - 4 pieces
2-deck (2 cells in size) - 3 pieces
3-deck (3 cells in size) - 2 pieces
4-deck (4 squares in size) - 1 piece.

Objects (ships) cannot be placed closely, that is, there must be at least one free cell between two adjacent objects (ships) (note that the enemy also cannot place objects (ships) closely).

When all preparations are completed and the objects (ships) are placed, it is time to begin the battle.

The player whose objects (ships) are located on the left field has the first move. You select a square on the enemy’s field and “shoot” at this square. If you sank an enemy ship, then the opponent must say “killed”; if you wounded the ship (that is, you hit a ship with more than one deck), then the opponent must say “wounded”. If you hit an enemy ship, you continue “shooting.”
The game ends when one of its participants loses all ships.

6. Points

Dots is a game of wits for two or four people. However, it is best to play with just two people. For this game you will need blank paper and as many pens as there are players. The object of the game is to connect the drawn lines into squares, the player who creates the most squares wins the game.

To begin, create a field on a blank piece of paper, draw horizontal and vertical lines of small dots at equal distances from each other. A very fast game would consist of ten along and ten points across. You can make the field as large or small as you like, depending on the level of the game and the number of players.

Once the board is created, each player takes turns making a move, drawing one line at a time connecting two points. Points can be connected horizontally or vertically, but sometimes diagonally. Once a player completes a square, he places his initials inside the square and gets his next turn, and so on until he manages to create a square with one extra line.

There are two possible strategies in this game: first, you can stop your opponents from creating squares. Secondly, you can shape the field so that you can create a large number of squares using one additional line.

7. Football

To play football you need a checkered piece of paper that will serve as a field. Two people play. The gate is six squares in size. The game begins at the central point of the field (sheet). The first move is played by lot.

A move is a broken line consisting of three segments, each of which is a diagonal or side of a cell.

You cannot cross the lines or touch them. If the player cannot make the next move, then the opponent shoots a penalty: a straight line of six cells (vertically, horizontally or diagonally).

If after a free kick the ball stops on an already drawn line, or the player cannot make a move, then another free kick is taken.

They play until the first goal.

8. Chain

The task is to come up with a chain of metagrams for a given pair of words that turns one of these words into another. Each subsequent word is obtained from the previous one by replacing exactly one letter. The winner is the one whose chain is shorter. This game was invented by Lewis Carroll, author of the book “Alice in Wonderland.” So, the GOAT turns into a WOLF, FOX, LEOPARD and other animals.

In 17 moves, NIGHT changes to DAY.

In 11 moves, the RIVER turns into the SEA.

In 13 minutes you can make a BULL from the DOUGH.

Traveling through time will take 19 turns: MIG will turn into an HOUR, then into a YEAR, then a CENTURY will arise and finally an ERA will appear.

The first player writes a letter, the next player adds a letter in front or behind the letter written, etc. The loser is the one whose substitution results in a whole word. Letters should not be substituted anyhow, when adding another letter, you must have in mind a specific word in which the combination of letters you wrote occurs. If the one who must make the next move cannot come up with a single word with the combination of letters that formed before his move, he must give up. In this case, the player who wrote the last letter must say what word he meant; if he cannot name the word, then he loses; if he named it, the one who gave up loses. The one who loses the first time gets the letter B, the second time - A, etc., until the word Balda is formed. The one who becomes the first Balda loses completely.

Naturally, you can play not only on paper, but also orally.

10 . Football 8x12

A field of 12x8 cells is drawn. The dots in the middle of the short sides are the gates. The first move is exactly from the center of the field. They take turns placing a line on one square (along a line or diagonally). If the move ends at a sketched point (that is, through which you have already walked - for example, the center of the field), then the right to another line is given, and so on, until the move ends at an empty point. The sides are considered to be sketched points (that is, the ball is “bounced” from the sides). The goal is to score the ball into the goal.
An additional rule that we came up with in class is that putting the ball into a position from which you cannot get out is an illegal move (for example, going into the corner). If this is the only move a player can make, then this is his loss.

Each field is played for one goal (if desired, for more, but practice has shown that it is still better to play for one goal). The convenience of this game compared to standard football is that it takes up little space and you can use a partially written piece of paper for it.

11. Labyrinth with objects

Two people are playing. Players draw two 10x10 fields. For convenience, you can assign designations to the cells: a, b, c, ..., i, k - horizontally and 1, 2, 3, ..., 9, 10 - vertically. (Helps with communication during the game). On one field, draw your own labyrinth through which your opponent will walk. The second, still empty, field is the opponent’s labyrinth, through which the player himself walks. It marks the objects of the enemy’s labyrinth explored during the game. The goal is to take the treasure out of someone else's labyrinth faster than your opponent takes the treasure out of yours.
Here you have the opportunity to simultaneously prove yourself both as an adventurer and as a “dungeon master.”

Labyrinth requirements:

Between the cells there may be walls, which, in fact, form a labyrinth. In addition, the entire perimeter of the labyrinth is also surrounded by a wall called the “maze wall.”

The labyrinth should contain:

1 Crossbow
1 Crutch
1 Trap
4 Pits
4 exits from pits (each pit uniquely corresponds to one exit)
3 False treasures
1 A real treasure
4 exits from the maze on each side.
In addition, each participant at the beginning of the game has 3 grenades.

Example map:

Game process.

Players tell each other the coordinates of the points from which they would like to start the game.
Players take turns. During a turn, a player can move one cell to the right, left, up or down, if the cell he is in and the one he wants to move to are not separated by a wall. If such a wall is still present, the player is informed about this and he remains on his cell until the next move. If this wall is a maze wall, this is reported separately. However, by prior agreement, you can not make a distinction between the internal walls and the walls of the labyrinth and exclude the concept of “maze wall”, but this can greatly delay the game. By spending one grenade, the player can eliminate any wall (including the wall of the labyrinth) until the end of the game. You don't need to discover it first to do this. For example, having intuitively sensed that there is a wall on the right, the player may not waste a turn going to the right and making sure that it is there. He can immediately use a grenade, and then there will definitely be no wall there. But it may be that it was not there, then the grenade is still considered spent. Throwing a grenade is considered a move. You cannot throw a grenade and move in the same turn.

After the player has moved to a new cell, the enemy informs him about what is on the new cell (and only one object can be on one cell).
These could be (with examples of notation):

A) crossbow("A"). After visiting this cell, the player begins to “limp” and the enemy can perform +1 action during his turn (which has already arrived) (move, throw a grenade, bump into a wall). The crossbow fires once, but its effect lasts until the end of the game.

b) crutch(“Y”). Visiting this cell allows the player himself, starting from the next turn, to perform 1 more action per turn. This is not a cure for the effects of a crossbow, but an independent object. The crutch works once, but its effect lasts until the end of the game.

The actions of the crutch and the crossbow stack. That is, visiting both of these cells gives the same result as not visiting either of them. If you find a crutch, and your opponent has a crossbow, then you can do three actions per turn (not four!).

V) trap(“K”). Allow three moves. Those. While you are getting out of the trap (more correctly, a trap), the enemy makes four moves, after which you can move again. Having an opponent with a crutch allows him to make eight moves. If you fall into a trap and were previously wounded by a crossbow, the enemy makes only four moves (permanently skipping moves does not work, because you still do not move). The trap is triggered every time a player visits a cell with it.

G) You've fallen into a hole No. 1, 2, 3 or 4. (“1,2,3,4”) – instantaneous movement (with the same move) to the cell “Exit from pit No. 1, 2, 3 or 4” (“I,II,III ,IV"), respectively. The exit coordinates are not communicated to the player. He continues the game from the cage with the exit from the pit and determines his location by indirect signs. If a player gets to the “exit from the pit” cell without falling into the pit itself, but simply “came across it,” he is informed about this. Now, having fallen into a hole with this number, he will know where he will appear.

d) You found a treasure. False (“O”) or true (“X”) can only be found out by leaving the maze.
To exit the maze, you can use any of the exits, which are available one on each side, or break through a new one using a grenade. (However, we can agree that grenades are not taken from the walls of the labyrinth, although they are wasted in the process).

A player who exits the maze on his turn (accidentally or intentionally) is told that he has exited the maze. If at the same time he has a treasure in his hands, it is reported what kind of treasure it is: false or real.

You can only carry one treasure at a time. In this case, the actions of a crossbow, crutch, or trap are not canceled. You can’t throw the treasure wherever you want, but you can exchange one for another. It is not necessary to take the treasure. If you find yourself on a cell with treasure and decide to take it, you need to inform your opponent about this.

The maze must be designed in such a way that you can visit each cell and exit the maze without using grenades, starting the game from any point. You cannot build traps: when a player, having fallen into a hole, comes out of it into a confined space, from which he cannot get out without using grenades. The trap can be placed anywhere.
After exiting the maze, the player can only enter the exit from which he exited. However, the option of re-entering through any exit also has a right to exist. In this case, it is possible to fence off areas that can only be reached through a certain entrance to the maze, if the starting point is located outside them.

12. Nonsense

And even the seemingly stupid game “Nonsense” carries deep meaning if you play it with the whole family. Each player receives a piece of paper and writes at the top the answer to the question “Who?” (Winnie the Pooh, cat Behemoth, neighbor Uncle Vasya, etc.). Then the answer is folded in such a way that it cannot be read, and the sheets of paper are passed around. The next question is “With whom?” Then follow: “When?”, “Where?”, “What did you do?”, “What came of it?” When all the answers are written, the pieces of paper are unfolded and read. "So what's the point of all this?" - you ask. If the whole family laughs at the resulting nonsense, if parents and children are interested and having fun together - isn’t this the most important, most important meaning of any family games?

13. Virus war

"Virus War". Game for two ( More is possible, but an even number of players is desirable, otherwise one quickly becomes a victim), on a field 10*10 ( again, more is possible, then it’s even more interesting), “viruses” are denoted by crosses, circles and other evil spirits (each player has their own color or shape). Three “viruses” are placed per turn. Viruses begin to reproduce from opposite corner cells of the field. You can only display a “virus” next to another “live virus” of your own. If there is an enemy “virus” nearby, you can eat it by painting the cell in your color. The enemy cannot “overeat” this cell a second time. Such formations are called “fortresses”. If the “fortress” touches at least one living virus of its color, then further away from it, new “viruses” can be created anywhere or there is an enemy. The goal of the game is the complete destruction of enemy forces. If both sides manage to hide their live viruses behind a fortress made from the enemy's eaten viruses, the game ends in a draw.

"Bedbugs." Variation of “virus warriors”. Can be played by 2 to 6 players, but optimally 4 players. They play on a notebook sheet, each player must have their own color. The game begins with drawing the “main bug” - a cross surrounded by a frame and the “headquarters” surrounding the “main bug” of 8 crosses in the corners of the sheet. Then you can make 5 “moves” per turn, and not 3 as in the “war of viruses”. The game is played to destroy the “main bugs”. But the most interesting thing in this version of the game is that the players, who play by default, each for themselves, have the right to enter into alliances and break them as the situation or personal preferences change. Often a good “political” intrigue in this variant brings more dividends than the combination class of the game. Possible addition: a player who has built a square of 8 bugs can place a new “main bug” in the center, and the old one is painted over in the player’s color. Such a revolution allows you to save your army from defeat if the enemy gets close to the old “main one”.

"War". A very complex variation of “virus warriors”. Can be played by 2 to 6 players, but optimally 4 players. They play on a notebook sheet, each player must have their own color. The game starts from the “generals”, which are designated by the letter G and are located in the corners of the sheet. For each move, the player can place:
4 infantrymen (designated by the letters P);
2 knights which are placed with a letter as in chess (and are designated by the letter K);
2 tanks that move through one cell (can also be diagonal) (indicated by the letters T);
1 plane that moves through 4 cells horizontally, vertically or diagonally (indicated by the letters C).
During any move, you can abandon one type of troops and make an extra move of another type. For example, you can immediately go 3 more times by plane in one turn, giving up all the infantry, all the horses and all the tanks, respectively.
Unlike the “war of viruses”, new fighters can only be deployed next to living fighters (or next to a “living” fortress) of the corresponding type, provided that they have a living connection with the general! That is, troops without control do not fight. Communication can be made through another type of military. They play, of course, to destroy the generals.

14. Pyramid

Two players play. They take turns writing words in the form of a pyramid according to the crossword rule; in addition, repeating the same words is prohibited. They start with a three-letter word; under the word you can write a word of the same length or one letter longer. Under each word you can only write a word of the same length once; the next word must be one letter longer. After the opponent’s move, the player carefully analyzes the resulting game word pyramid and tries to form a word of at least three letters, taking for it the first letter from an arbitrary level of the pyramid, the second from the next level below it, etc. one letter from each next level. This word must also be a common noun in the initial form and not an abbreviation (not an abbreviation like traffic police). The player who finds such a word adds to his score as many points as there are letters in this word. Then the next round begins, and so on, until a player scores 12 points. He becomes the winner.

An example of one round of this game with words: the 1st player writes the word HATCH, the 2nd writes the word MIG under it. The 1st player needs to find a 4-letter word, he writes the word SHAWL. Both players try to select words from already used letters in order to not give their opponent a chance to win the round. Here the 2nd player carefully looks to see if he can make up some word, but all sorts of nonsense comes out like KISH, LIL, YUM, etc. Then the 2nd player writes the 4-letter word SHILO (or he could write a 5-letter one):
LUKE
MOMENT
SHAWL
AWL

The 1st player analyzes the pyramid... He sees the words GAI, IL and YUG, which, according to the conditions of this word game, do not fit, and does not notice the word KILO! The pyramid has another level:
LUKE
MOMENT
SHAWL
AWL
A DROP

Player 2 sees the words LIK and SPIKE, then notices the word KILO... And suddenly finds the beautiful 5-letter word LILY! It adds 5 points to the 2nd player's score.

Such games on paper with words develop attentiveness and the ability to combine words.

Two players draw 7-10 tanks each. or “starships?”, each on its own half of a double notebook sheet (preferably not in a box, but in a line or empty A4). Having placed the army, the players begin to fire at each other as follows: a shot is drawn on their half of the field, then the sheet is folded exactly in the middle, and the shot, visible in the open, is marked on the second half of the field. If it hit a tank, it was knocked out (the second? knocking out? is fatal), and if it hit it exactly, the tank was immediately destroyed.
Each successful shot gives the right to the next one; In some versions of the game, you cannot fire the next shot at the same tank.
After preliminary shooting, the game very quickly moves into the “blitz-krieg” stage, or rather, a rapid denouement. The winner, naturally, is the one who shoots the opposing army first.

16. Barriers

A simple tactical game, the essence of which is the positional struggle for space. On an 8x8 field (i.e. the size of a chessboard), players, one after another, draw small lines that overlap any 2 cells in a row: i.e. for example player 1 draws a vertical line occupying e2 and e3.
Player 2 does the same, but his line cannot cross or touch any existing “barricades”. As the field fills up, there is less and less free space, and at the end a sober calculation is required to finish the game. A player who can no longer place his line because... everything is already blocked, losing.

A simple and quite fun game, built on the same principles as Coin Parade, but completely different in form.
On a small field (it can be a square or rectangle of any size, it doesn’t really matter) players place about 15-20 points in a variety of places, although more or less evenly.
Then the first player draws a round but free-form rim that passes through at least 1 point. The maximum in the classic version is unlimited, although I would recommend giving a maximum of 4 points in the rim.
Next player draws his rim, the only limitation? it cannot intersect with those already drawn. The rims can be drawn inside the rims, or, conversely, surround existing ones, the main thing is that they do not intersect. After a while, there is very little space left, and the one who draws the last rim loses.
A variation of this game is the rule of drawing rims that cover only 1 or 2 points, no more.

The one who destroys the last zero loses.

19. Dots and squares

The author of this game, popularizer of mathematics and science Martin Garner, considered it ?the pearl of logic games?. Without sharing his opinion, however, it is quite possible to call the game one of the best tactical games, interesting at any age.
Playing field? rows of dots from 3x3 to 9x9. It’s better to start with a small field and, having felt the taste, increase the size. The rules are very simple: players connect two dots with a line, and when the player can close the square, he puts his sign in it (for example, the first letter of his name).
By closing a square, the player gains the right to an additional move until he draws a line that does not close anything. At the end of the game, it is counted who has closed the most squares, and the winner is determined.
Despite its apparent simplicity, the game provides a good space for combinatorial play, especially on fields of 5x5 and larger. The essence of winning tactics? force the field with half-closed structures, sacrifice, it is necessary, a few squares in favor of the opponent, and then, when there is practically nowhere to bet, force him to make an unfavorable move (not covering anything)? and then close most of the squares in one series.

The simplest word game, based on the tic-tac-toe principle, only with letters.
On a 3x3 field (then try other sizes), two players bet on any one letter each, and the one who, by the end of the game (when all the fields are filled in) manages to write more well-known 3-letter words diagonally, vertically or horizontally, wins.
The game is useful for children who are learning to write. For adults there is quite little competitive value, but players with a sense of humor will have a lot of fun. For children, you can play the option: who will be the first to create a word, and not who will have more words.

21. Racing

A more complex and lengthy game, built on the same principle as other paper coordination games: moving a vertical pen along a sheet of paper with a light click.
On a sheet (single or double) drawn race track(Race), in the form of two curving, uneven circles, repeating each other’s outlines, 2-3-4 cells wide (depending on the number of participants). Then, in an arbitrary place of the resulting ring, a start/finish line is drawn, from which the racing cars start.
In short, neat strokes, the racers move around the ring, overcoming bends and special obstacles, flying into the ditch, entering the field again, and as a result, one of them comes to the finish line first and reaps the laurels.
Each time the driver's line touches or crosses the track boundary, a cross is placed at the intersection and the driver skips the next turn, turning his car around so it can continue the race. Each car has 5 such intersections in stock. (5 hit points), and the sixth encounter becomes fatal.
Besides this, could there be any obstacles on the route? for example, high-danger zones: upon flying into such a zone, the car receives more damage and loses two life points. Or special obstacles that protrude from the edges and make the passage narrower, or on the contrary, stand in the middle and force cars to squeeze through
It is also possible to enter touch points, or rather, small circles, which the car must hit when passing by (i.e., through which the line must pass). The picture shows all the listed complications of the track at once, and it is clear that the race is still far from over.
You can invent and introduce your own rules, new obstacles, and if there are 4 or more participants, you can even arrange a racing series, making several tracks, and in between them allowing players to purchase equipment for the amount of points depending on the place taken. For example, buy additional life points or attack spikes, and remove 1 life point from the car you are overtaking.

22. Golf

Players start from two spots next to each other at the bottom of a double piece of paper standing vertically (see picture).
Everyone plays with a pen of their own color, and what is everyone's task? in the minimum number of strokes (lines from the handle sliding along the sheet) get the ball into the hole. The hole is located at the opposite end of the field, i.e. on top of the sheet. And a person with good coordination needed a maximum of 4-5 hits to drive the line into the hole.
But in advanced versions of Golf, the path to it is not so simple, because long straight lines are protected by hills that act as a buffer and do not allow the player. When hitting a hill, the enemy performs a rollback i.e. shoots the line of the offender in any direction, and he is forced to continue his series of blows from the place where this line came. Or perhaps 1 or 2 extra moves are added to the track of the one who hits the hill.

Sea battle games

Water battles online

Do you like military strategies and spectacular battles?! We have collected the largest collection of these simulators. Put the paper and pen aside. If you are a fan of retro, then join the flash battle on a lined notebook sheet in 2D. If you prefer bright special effects, place your ships on a 3D field. At the same time, you can choose the shells for your flotilla. Be careful, because each torpedo is issued in strictly limited quantities!

Flash games "Battleship" are perfectly drawn and musically designed. On your field you can place both simple squares and medieval frigates or modern combat destroyers. Pleasant impressions from the simulator will be complemented by realistic sounds of volleys. In moments of brief calm, you will also hear the cry of seagulls and the sound of waves.

Winning strategy

Playing naval battle against a computer is very difficult. In moments of failure, it may seem to you that he initially knows about the location of all your ships and is simply stretching out time. But that's not true. The virtual enemy conducts targeted shooting at free sectors, guided by certain tactics. It's worth learning!

Free online Battleship games have an element of chance. But with skillful placement of ships and the right return fire, it can be reduced to a minimum. Another obvious principle that few people think about is that the fewer untested sectors, the higher the likelihood of hitting the target. This is where the strategy begins, based on several rules:
. Do not shoot at cells that surround an already disabled aircraft carrier;
. If you “wounded” an enemy ship, then do not leave it “for later”. Finish it right away. This way you will quickly find out the number of remaining cells;
. The first to be disabled are the battleships, which occupy 4 sectors. By destroying them, you can eliminate 14 cells at once.

As you can see, you need to be thoughtful in playing free sea battles online! And it doesn’t matter who exactly you are in confrontation with – a computer or a person.

In those distant times, when there were no iPhones or iPads, and mobile phones were a curiosity, we still found something to do with ourselves. Especially in class. Well, who, having moved away from the teacher, did not play sea battle or at least tic-tac-toe with the neighbor on the desk?

Let's remember together how we managed to play incredibly exciting games without using technology, but using only a notebook sheet.


It is difficult to find those who have not played this simple game. We draw a three by three field and try to line up our figures. Happened? Well done, you won!

There was also a more complex modification of the game. Such a field was drawn and on it it was necessary to place not three, but five figures in a row

Raise your hands who's never played? Now leave the class! It looks like there are no candidates for exit. It’s even funny to tell the rules of naval combat - without exaggeration, everyone played it.
We draw two 10x10 square fields, place ships on one of them, and keep the second one for notes - on it we will draw a plan for the location of the enemy ships. The ships should not touch each other, and there should be only 10 of them. Four with one cell, three with two cells, two with three cells and one with four cells. Now - into battle. We name any point on the enemy’s field, and from there we dance – we figure out where he has what. And so on until the bitter end.

A game that has significantly increased our vocabulary. The enemy guesses a word, and you must, by guessing one letter at a time, finally solve it. Each misspelled letter adds a board to the gallows. The number of elements of the gallows is agreed upon in advance.

They are Cities. Let's play land grab, no less! The point of the game is for players to place dots one by one. The winner is the one whose points formed a circle, and at the same time were located at a cell distance from one another. True, usually the game does not end there - the defeated opponent demands revenge, so you can play until the space on the sheet runs out.

Another linguistic game. We draw a field, choose a larger word and enthusiastically add letters to it, forming new words. We create words in any direction except diagonal. The same letter cannot be repeated, that's the problem. So think, gentlemen, and the game will end when the entire field is filled with letters!

A dangerous game, because according to the rules you had to talk. But what can you do to while away a boring lesson!
We draw a sign, guess a four-digit number, and enter it in the first column. In the next ones we will guess the enemy's number. We say any number at random. If you didn’t guess right, we write it down. If you guessed right, we mark, for example, “two guessed right, one is right.”
Based on the marks, we continue the game. The first one to guess the opponent's number wins.

That's where there is room for imagination! One player draws a squiggle, the second player adds whatever his imagination suggests to it.
Like this, for example.

Everything is simple here. We draw an arbitrary number of points, and then alternately connect them with straight lines so as to form a maximum of triangles. Be careful! The enemy is also not asleep. The one with the most triangles wins.

Let's draw a labyrinth track with mandatory zones:
1. Start
2. Paths
3. Penalty area with three (or more - at your discretion) compartments
4. Finish.
We increase speed by 1 cell per turn. And this is where you need to calculate in such a way as to get to the finish line first, but also fit into the turns along the way. In case of an accident, the game rolls back diagonally one square.

To play the game, we draw a table, select an arbitrary letter and begin racing to write words starting with the desired letter. The game ends when one of the players collects all 10. After that, we count the points. You can play several rounds.

How to have fun passing the time during recess? By playing board games, of course! Moreover, all you need from the props is a pen, a piece of checkered paper and at least one comrade. So let's get started...

GALLOWS

Two people are playing. One thinks of a word and puts as many dashes as there are letters in the word. You can write the first and last letter of a word. The second player guesses one letter at a time. The correct letters fit in place of the dashes. If the letter is named incorrectly, a vertical line is drawn. If the second letter is not guessed, a horizontal one is added to the vertical one - the result is a gallows. Then the rope, head, hands are drawn... You need to guess the word in 8 attempts, otherwise you lose.

Here, as an example, the word "abbreviation" is given. You can specify a word category, for example, animals.

In order not to get confused and not to name the wrong letter again, you can cross them out from the alphabet, or write down those already named.

RHOMBUS

This is a type of "tic-tac-toe". Two people are playing. A rhombus is drawn as shown in the figure (the size can be changed). Players take turns tracing one side of the square. The task of each player is to circle the last fourth side and place his own cross or zero inside the cell.

You need to carefully make your move so that the enemy does not have the opportunity to close the cell. When all the cells are filled, the number of crosses and zeroes is counted. Whoever has more is the winner.

DIAGONAL

You can play together, but it’s more interesting when there are many players. Each player draws squares in a notebook, as shown in the figure below, with sides of 7, 6, 5, 4 and 3 cells.

Then, someone guesses a letter. This letter is written diagonally into all squares and the game begins.

The players' goal is to come up with and write words containing this letter (singular nouns).

The one who completes all the words the fastest wins. If there are many players, then the winner is selected as follows: the players read their words out loud. For each original word there are 2 points, if the words are repeated, then only 1 point is added to those players. The one with the most points wins.

WORDS

A game for two or more people. Each player draws a sign in their notebook as shown below. You can change the categories and come up with your own, but that’s how we played. One player says the letter A out loud and begins to mentally recite the alphabet. When the second player says “stop,” the first player calls out the letter he stopped on. Players must write words in the table for this letter (if they cannot think of a word, they put a dash). Whoever did this first stops the game.

Then the players count their points: for each original (not the same as others) word, add 2 points; for a repeated word - 1 point; for a dash - 0 points. The game continues with a new letter. Then all the points are added up and a winner is chosen. The game is dynamic and very interesting.

SEA BATTLE

Two people are playing. Two squares with a side of 10 cells are drawn. You need to sign the letters of the alphabet on top, and numbers from 1 to 10 on the left. The left field will be yours, and the right field will be the enemy’s. Now we draw the ships so that they do not touch (and so that the enemy does not see their location). The number and size of ships is shown in the figure below.

When everything is ready, start shooting one by one. One player names a cell (for example, d2) where he expects to find the enemy ship. If it is empty, the second player says “pass” and the turn goes to him. And if the first player hits the ship, the second player says “wounded” or “killed” (if all the cells of the ship are crossed out). If a player hits a ship, he gets the right to an extra turn.

BALDA

You can play with two, three, four... Draw a square. The number of squares on the side must be odd (5, 7 or 9, no longer required). Sign the names of the players, come up with and write a word (singular noun) in the center of the square.

Now players take turns coming up with a new word, adding only one letter and using existing letters. The invented word is written under the player's name and the number of letters is indicated.

The players' task is to come up with a word as long as possible. The one with the most points for all words wins.

These are the best board games that will help pass the time during school breaks, on a long journey, or on dull winter evenings not only for children, but also for adults. In addition, this is an excellent simulator that develops thinking, attentiveness and logic.

“Sea Battle” is an exciting and simple game that does not require special equipment or special knowledge. It can be played both on a computer and on paper, and once only the second option was used, since there was no other option. Not everyone knows how to play Battleship, because either there was no opportunity to learn, or there was no “teacher”. In any case, such knowledge can be useful. The rules of the game “Battleship” are simple; anyone can remember them, regardless of age and level of intelligence.

General

The game "Battleship" has long captivated many people. It is interesting, exciting, and most importantly, it does not require any expenses. To play with a person together, you will need two sheets of checkered paper (preferably) and two pens (or 2 pencils).

“Battleship” is useful not only because it allows you to have a good time. The game also helps develop strategic thinking and intuition. If you and the person know each other, you have the opportunity to use information about the enemy. For example, your assumptions about how he might place ships so that they are difficult to find, how you would bet if you were in his place, may be confirmed and help you win.

Rules

Well, we can proceed to the main part. Now you will learn how to play “Battleship”:

1. First, you need to draw two squares measuring 10x10 cells on a sheet of paper (of course, it’s easier to draw on a sheet of paper with a checkered pattern). Then, in both pictures, put on the top row the letters from A to K (from left to right, skipping E and J), and to the left of the squares - numbers from 1 to 10 (from top to bottom).

2. On the left square you need to place:

• 1 ship consisting of 4 cells;
• 2 ships, consisting of 3 cells;
• 3 ships, consisting of 2 cells;
• 4 ships, consisting of 1 cell.

Ships cannot touch each other either on their sides or corners. It is important that there is at least one free cell between them. Ships can touch the edges of the playing field, and they must be positioned only vertically and horizontally (diagonally not).

The right square should remain empty.

3. The goal of each player is to destroy enemy ships. The one who goes first (by agreement or by chance (using lots)) names the coordinates (letter-number), looking at the right empty square. For example, E7. The opponent looks at his left drawing, where his ships are located, and answers:

a) past;
b) wounded;
c) killed.

The first option means that the player ended up on an empty cell, that is, he did not end up anywhere. He marks this place in his right square so as not to choose it a second time (most often with a cross, but in any other convenient way), and meanwhile the turn passes to the second player.

The second option means that the player is in a multi-deck ship (occupying from 2 to 4 cells). Having marked the desired place on his map, a person has the right to the next move until he misses. So, if after shouting E7 the answer “wounded” follows, the player can call either E6, or Z7, or E8, or D7 in order to finish off the wounded ship (by the way, this is not necessary, you can temporarily leave it alone and look for others) . The second player again answers “by”, “wounded” or “killed”.

The third option means that the enemy ship is destroyed. If this happened on the first move, it means that it was single-deck (consisting of one cell), which can be called a great success. If from the second (for example, after E7 the player said E6), it means double-decker, etc. After knocking out a ship, as well as after being wounded, the player walks until he receives the answer “past”.

4. The move passes from one player to another in case of a miss and is delayed by one of the opponents in case of a successful hit. The winner is the person who is the first to find and destroy all enemy ships.

Other variations

Sometimes "Battleship" is on paper, and sometimes it is on a computer, as mentioned earlier. And if the first option requires a real, living opponent, then in the latter case you can play with robots. True, firstly, it will not be so interesting (the enemy’s reaction when you sink his ship is priceless), and secondly, the opportunity to peek into the enemy fleet is absolutely excluded (we all understand that some people try to cheat).

One way or another, it’s not difficult to come up with other, more expanded versions of the game; it all depends on the imagination of the players and their desire/ability to experiment. It is important to immediately clarify all the rules, because if not every person understands how to play “Battleship”, the rules of which you came up with, nothing good will come of it, and a high-quality game will not work.

For example, you can add more cells to the “battlefield” (not 10x10, but 20x20, for example), and then either leave the number of ships or increase them. You can complicate the task so much that all the ships that the enemy needs to find are single-deck. You can make mines, and if they hit them, the enemy misses one turn. There are a lot of options, the main thing is to know in moderation.

Conclusion

That's all, now you are familiar with the new game and you know its rules. The question “how to play “Battleship”” should be settled. From now on, you and your friends will have something to do during boring lessons/lectures or at work, if you can be close to each other and write on sheets of paper.
