How to play
- A 6×6 grid hides 8 bombsUnlike Minesweeper there are no adjacency numbers. There is nothing to deduce.
- Tap squares on your turnEach safe square is a point held against this turn.
- Pass to bankPoints only count once you pass the turn on.
- Hit a bomb and lose the lotYou drink and everything unbanked from this turn is gone.
Who drinks, and how much
- Hitting a bomb: 1 drink, and this turn's points are lost.
Variants and house rules
Pure nerve, no logic
This is the difference from Minesweeper: with no numbers there is no skill to hide behind. Every tap after the first is a straight 8-in-36 gamble, shrinking as the board empties.
Three and out
Agree that nobody may reveal more than three squares per turn. It makes for a much faster, meaner game.
