Game Mashup: Operation Battleship

For game design we had to use two different games and combine them, and make our own rules. Below you will see the rules and some photographs of what we did. 

Operation Battleship:

By: Brooke Olson, Arielle Mckelvey, and Cullan Gibbons

Two player strategy game

Rules:

Players play as cat pirates determined to get the most battleships and treasure ships.

Battleships pieces stay the normal battleship pieces, and the Operation pieces are transformed into cargo  ship pieces. You play on the Battleship board and use the Operation money as well as the pieces.

The two players both start out with 4 cargo ships each. The Battleships have to be bought, their price depends on the number of divots in each ship. (Each divot is $100). The players place their cargo ships where they want, same for the Battleships. Players earn money by obtaining other player's cargo ships. To obtain other cargo ships the player must guess the correct row that the opponents ship is in. Players guess by row and try to obtain any cargo ships in that row. If a battleship is in that row, one peg of damage is added. Players can potentially guess a row twice to hit a ship more than once. If a ship is sunk by all the divots being filled, it is placed back into the pile and it must be re-purchased. 

If a player chooses to purchase a ship, they must count that as their turn and they cannot attack during this turn. Once a player purchases a ship the money they use must go into a discard pile, and does not come back into gameplay. 

Obtaining cargo earns a player $400. They also obtain the cargo piece(s) they hit and they are then placed on the other players board.  

Game ends when all of the money is gone. Gameplay then stops and the player with the most monetary value on board wins. 

If a tie occurs, the player who has the least amount of damage done to their ships wins. If the tie remains, a sudden death must occurs and whoever hits the other players Battleship first by guessing wins.
