Game rules
This game is based on the popular Minesweeper, but there are some differences. Instead of mines, there are treasures, and instead of avoiding them, you will have to find them before your opponents.
The aim of the game is to find out the highest number of treasures or diamonds. There are 3 different objects, each one has a scoring:
Treasure: 1 point
Diamond: 2 points
Skull: -1 point
The winner is the player who gets the highest scoring.

The numbers with a circle also indicate there is a diamond or a skull nearby.
