About the game
Take the game everyone played as a kid. Give every ship a superpower. Now you're playing BattleTabs.
A fast, tense 1v1 strategy duel: build a fleet, hunt down your opponent's, and sink it before they sink yours. The board is hidden, the abilities are deadly, and one good read can win the whole match.
So, what's in your fleet?
You bring four ships into battle — and there are 40+ to choose from, each a completely different tool:
🛶 The Coracle one-shots any ship — if you've already found the tile.
🚣 The Longboat keeps firing until it finally misses.
🐙 The Octopus tells you how far away the nearest enemy is hiding.
🛡️ The Loyal Defender takes every hit meant for the rest of your fleet.
🪞 The Magic Mirror steals your opponent's last move and fires it back.
⚔️ The Valkyrie strikes twice — and harder every time one of your own ships goes down.
And many more!
Mix, match, and find the combo that wins the way you want to win.
The board is hidden. So is your plan.
Every shot is a guess you're trying to make less of a guess. Scout with sonar. Bluff your placements. Bait out their cooldowns, then punish the opening. The matches are short. The mind games aren't.
Quick to learn. Brutal to master.
A round takes a few minutes. Getting genuinely good takes a while. Climb the ranked ladder, where wins come from better reads — never better luck.
You don't have to battle alone.
Join a clan and climb together. Drop into tournaments to prove you're the best in the field. Or go solo against the AI in Expedition — a roguelike run where you push your fleet through encounter after encounter, upgrading as you go, with only three strikes to spare.
