Landmines

About the Game

Landmines is a party game involving cards and coins that represent mines. Players take turns revealing cards, while certain cards or spaces can trigger consequences based on the group's house rules.

There are several versions of Landmines, so make sure everyone understands the rules before starting.

2. When a card meets the group's condition for a mine, place a coin on it.
3. Players keep track of existing mines as the game progresses.
