As mentioned above: the game is very similar to Minesweeper. You have a grid of different colored cards. (one for you and one for your opponent) You each take turns flipping card trying to collect three fruit cards while also collecting stars (which fill your PowerMeter and give you bonus points) and trying to avoid red skulls (which make you [[OneHitKill insta-lose]] the round). Most cards you pull will have plus-signs, small stars, and small, black skulls. These mean that one of those cards is in the general vicinity, which is where the MS similarities come in. Collect three fruit to win a round, reach the score limit first to win the game.
