'Map'leShips

Report Copyright Infringement View in OSM UK

Description

this is played along the lines of battle ships with 2 teams taking it in turns to call grid references to try and capture their oppositions lego figure / counters.

Resources

2 maps
lego figures (or alternative Counters) per team
counters (for 'called' references)

Instructions

2 teams (find it works best with 2 or 3 per team)
each team place their lego figure (counter) on different squares of a map (restrict or increase the size of the possible area of the map as needed)
using 4 digit map references, the teams take turns to choose a square.
if a lego figure (counter) is in the square it is a 'capture' & the lego figure is removed
if no lego figure (counter) is in the square it is a 'escape'
(the calling team, place counter on the grid reference they called irrespective of whether it was a capture or not)
first team to capture all their oppositions lego figures (Counters) wins.

Can be made harder by using 6 or 8 digit grid references (depending on map / counter size)
