The game is played on a 16-square foot playing mat with an electronic helicopter placed in the middle and controlled from a remote that runs under the mat. Players choose to be either Blue or Red (teams can be created if there are more than 2 players)and alternate turns. The object of the game is to collect bomb tokens totaling 6 or more points before the other player(or team). The tokens are spread out on the mat with the point value face down and the player must pick up the tokens with the helicopter(the points become visible once picked up)and dropped onto the designated headquarters. There are also bomb and spy tokens that need to be dropped into the bomb bunker or the competing players headquarters, respectively. That is the main play, there are also solo mission and time variations.
