Battles & Ships

WOD

BATTLESHIP: The Board game

(No, really, we're playing the game in teams)


The groups will secretly coordinate and place their fleet strategically on a 10x10 grid. Team leaders determine who goes first by playing Rock Paper Scissors.

The game proceeds in a series of rounds*. In each round, each group's turn consists of announcing a target square in the opponent's grid which is to be shot at. If a ship occupies the square, then it takes a hit. Then team's opponent announces whether or not the shot has hit one of the opponent's ships- if it has the team will perform the reps and exercise required. If it does not, then the firing team will do the appropriate amount of burpees as a group. The opponent then fires a shot at the first team's ships. When all of the squares of a ship have been hit, the ship is sunk.

After all of one team's ships have been sunk, the game ends and the other team wins! Weeeee!

Ships (Size) & Exercises

- Carrier (5) = 20 wall ball shots, 20/14#
- Battleship (4) 7 shoulder-to-overhead, 60/45kg
- Submarine (3) 10 kb swings 32/24kg
- Destroyer (3) = 20 pullups or 7 muscle-ups
- Patrol Boat (2) = 800m run

Misses will cost the entire group burpees. Trainers will determine exactly how many each individual will perform at the start of the WOD. If the game is over quickly, you can play again!

* Can also play the Salvo variation of the game, where you get to fire off as many shots as you have ships per turn.

We have 10 guest passes to a free screening tonight (7pm) at Pacific Place. Each pass admits two people. First 10 commenters get the passes, and you should get there early for seats!

Oh dang.. Ready for this WOD!! It looks to be a fun time for all!

I won't make the movie tonight so my comment doesn't count! As a reminder though, you guys need to pick the passes up at either gym as they are physical tickets vs online tickets you can print! Who are the remaining 7 to get passes?? :)
