⚓ Game of the Admirals

How to play

Game of the Admirals is a naval re-imagining of the Filipino classic Game of the Generals (Salpakan).

Setup

• Each fleet has 21 ships, arranged anywhere on your three home rows.
• Tap two of your ships (or a ship and an empty home square) to swap them, or press Shuffle.

Movement

• On your turn, move one ship one square up, down, left, or right.
• Moving onto an enemy ship declares a challenge.

Challenges (the Arbiter decides)

• The higher rank sinks the lower. Equal ranks sink each other.
• The Spy sinks every officer and the Flag — but is sunk by any Sailor.
• The Flag is sunk by everything, but a Flag that challenges the enemy Flag wins.
• Ranks are never revealed — you only see which square survived.

Chain of command (high → low)
