furbster: Have you ever played minesweeper on the computer? Where you click on a square, and it gives a number - which is how many mines are in the 8 squares around the SHOT.

Same thing here - but for 2 players. Your 5 men & your opponets 5 men are put on the same board - you have to shoot to get the number until you think you can determin where a man is and guess where they are.

Good points for guessing correctly, bad points for hitting a man or guessing wrong.

** edited to change the word guess to shot
