Watch “DARTLESHIP - Battleship Variant - House Ruled (Ep. 6 - Season Finale),” a board game entertainment video for Battleship on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by Board Crazy on YouTube:
After a brief expedition to the Arts & Crafts store, the Board Crazy team is ready for the Season 1 Finale of House Ruled - "Dartleship". This Battleship variant might be the most intricate thing we've done on the channel. Okay fine, there's little intricacy to throwing darts at a grid. But hey, we used glue and stuff - that's a big step for us.

About Battleship, from BoardGameGeek:
Battleship was originally a pencil-and-paper public domain game known by different names, but Milton Bradley made it into the well known board game in 1967. The pencil and paper grids were changed to plastic grids with holes that could hold plastic pegs used to record the guesses.
Each player deploys his ships (of lengths varying from 2 to 5 squares) secretly on a square grid. Then each player shoots at the other's grid by calling a location. The defender responds by "Hit!" or "Miss!". You try to deduce where the enemy ships are and sink them. First to do so wins.
The Salvo variant listed in the rules allows each player to call out from 1 to 5 shots at a time depending on the amount of ships the player has left (IE: players each start off with 5 ships, so they start off with 5 shots. As ships are sunk, the players gets fewer shots). This version of the game is closer to the original pencil-and-paper public domain game. Many versions of the pencil-and-paper game have different amounts of shots based on the ship (IE: Battleship: 5 shots. Destroyer: 3 Shots, Etc.).
