Minefield Simulation Mechanics
Players are placed at the entry gate of an 8x16 concealed minefield. A massive steel compactor steadily advances from the rear. Players must cross to the extraction elevator using handheld sonar detectors.
Sonar Frequency Decoding
- Slow Low Hum (100Hz): Green zone (no mines in 2-tile radius).
- Medium Pulse (400Hz): Caution zone (mine in 1-tile diagonal).
- Fast High Chirp (1200Hz): Lethal danger (direct adjacent tile contains active ordnance).
Advanced Baiting Strategy
Because all players share the physical space, drafting 1 tile behind an aggressive scout allows you to copy their verified path while preserving your safety.
