Breitseite ("Broadside") is a naval battle dexterity game for two players. Each player builds a pirate ship consisting of three wooden blocks resting on round sticks, with two masts and some sailors on top. Now they take turns putting a thinner stick between two blocks and hitting it with another stick so it flies toward the other ship, hopefully damaging it (and hopefully without accidentally knocking over their own fragile vessel). A player who loses either two decks or both masts loses the game. An simpler version of this game was included in the game system Ombakado (1984).
