Who Goes First? 📡

Word Fleet

Determine who strikes first through a tactical mini-game of strategy and deception. No coin tossing allowed!

How It Works

Both captains have 5 launch codes (000–999) stamped on their battle tracker. Use codes, strategy and deception to try and secure the first strike!

Steps

1
Opening Hail
Either captain calls out a launch code, real or fake
2
Response
Respond with one of 3 choices:
Concede:
Give up → Original captain strikes first
Challenge:
Demand proof → If code is valid: original captain strikes first. If code is fake: challenging captain strikes first
Counter:
Call an equal or higher code → Now the original captain must respond to this new code
3
Continue
Continue until someone gives up or is caught lying

Sample Skirmish

Original captain: "850" → Other captain: "900" → Original captain: "Challenge!"

Result: Other captain reveals no 900 launch code → Original captain strikes first
