Product Information

In addition to a board, you will also need at least 12 shot glasses, maybe more depending on how lengthy you make your ships. A Battle Shots game board – this could be bought or homemade with pizza boxes or similar items. You’ll also need shot glasses to represent your ships. On 21 October 1805, Victory led the British fleet into battle off Cape Trafalgar against the Franco-Spanish force; at 11.48 the most famous signal in the history of the Royal Navy, 'England Expects That Every Man Will Do His Duty' flew from her masthead.

Do not tell your opponent where your ships are located, and make sure they don’t voice their positions either. When your turn comes around, call out the location where you believe an enemy ship is positioned. For example, A5, D7, etc. The rules of the BattleShots drinking game is similar to that of Battleships. For those of you not familiar with the rules, a turn consists of guessing the coordinates of your opponents ships, one coordinate at a time, using the 6x6 grid as your guide. The vertical coordinates are labeled A through F, and the horizontal coordinates are labeled 1 through 6, so to call the top left corner of the board you would say "A-1". If your opponent had a ship there, he would respond "hit". You now know where a piece of his ship was, without knowing if it's a 2 or 3-length ship, so you continue to guess around that area until your opponent responds "sunk", notifying you that you called the ships entire position out. At the end of the game the losing player must take drinks for each of the remaining ships on his opponents side.

There's no fiddly trigger to pull as the Microburst 2 fires as you pump it, and 20 shots is plenty for a water gun with such a low overall tank capacity. The game revolves on the same format as that of battleship. Here, each different ship represents a set number of shots. One of the water guns, the Nerf Super Soaker Fortnite HC-E, was unfortunately broken on arrival, so we were unable to complete testing for that one. Soaking power You only fire once between each refill, so you've got to make it count, but that one shot comes with plenty of range and firepower. A distance of 9.6 metres made this the winner of our range test, and if you're unfortunate enough to get caught in the fire of this blaster you're sure to get soaked.

We then fired each water gun from a couple of metres away, ensuring that the whole shot hit the tester's overalls. Victory first engaged the French flagship Bucentaure followed by the Redoutable. Nelson was shot by a French marksman from the Redoutable at the height of the battle and died at 16.30 when victory was assured. Out of a crew of 821, Victory had 57 men killed and 102 wounded demonstrating the serious nature of the fighting. HMS Victory HMS Victory, the most famous ship in the history of the Royal Navy, is best known as Horatio Nelson's flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar on 21 October 1805. The loser of the game is the one who has no shots left to drink. They then have to take the rest of the remaining shots from the other side of the board as well. Get Your Shot Glasses Ready; It’s Time to Play Fun with Friends: Although it’s a competition, remember to enjoy the fun, laughter, and bonding the game brings.Who can forget the fun-filled afternoon when you and your buddies sat around a board and played battleship? We measured the capacity of each water gun by filling the water tank up to maximum and then pouring it out into a container on a set of scales that told us how many millilitres of water were inside. If you would prefer to stray from the traditional Battleship rules, you can make the ships as long as you want, add in additional players, switch out the shots for other drinks, etc. You definitely want to make sure that every guess is being marked on a sheet; otherwise, the same locations may be called out twice, especially as more and more shots are being taken throughout the course of the game. To separate the best water guns from the duds we bought ten bestselling blasters and put them through a string of tough tests.

Now that you have the rules, equipment, and steps in mind, it’s time to break out those shot glasses and get a game started with family and/or friends. For example, if you call out B5, and it’s a hit, place an X on that spot. If it’s a miss, use an O. Once the turn has been selected, the winning player calls out the opponent ship’s expected coordinates. There’s no set rule on what you have to drink when playing Battle Shots, so choose your favorite beer or liquor and then get to playing. How to Play Battle Shots: Step by Step We filled each water gun, pumped it up to full power if required, and then fired them several times from a few different angles.The Battle Shots rules indicate that a coin flip is necessary to decide who is going to go first. Ask your opponent to choose heads or tails, and then the person who wins can take the initial turn. 4. Take Your First Guess You'll have to make those shots count, however, as despite having a capacity of more than a litre we only fired it seven times before it needed refilling. This may be partly due to how much water is wasted during pumping, as it dribbled a lot of water out of the end of the barrel when we were pumping it up.
