ABSTRACT:
A naval warfare board game apparatus is provided which consists of two sets of two grids or pegboards, each having a 10.times.10 grid pattern of peg holes, and one of which is a minefield grid and the other of which is a tracking grid. Each player hides his set from view of the other player and sets out 17 pegs, representing mines, on his minefield grid, without disclosing their position to his opponent. The first player then moves pegs representing his fleet of seventeen ships from a starting corner position on his tracking grid and attempts to cross the board to an opposite corner representing a "victory" position. During the voyage, if a player's fleet hits one of his opponents mines, his fleet is stopped and the other player then takes his turn and moves his fleet from the starting position. When, and if, the second player hits a mine the play reverts to the first player and he recharts his course from the position just prior to hitting the mine to continue on his voyage to the victory position. The game is won by either player reaching the victory position with at least one ship left in his fleet or by destroying all 17 ships of the opponent's fleet.
