A battle of memory and information.

A flag is hidden on the map. You can travel through the map and check the squares in it. If it is the flag, you score a point (and your opponent is penalized). If it is a bomb, you get sent back to your starting location. Otherwise, it will give you a hint to where the flag is, either a direction or a distance. Your player needs to be able to use information from both your own search and your opponent’s search in order to narrow down the location of the flag quickly and effectively.
