The whole point of the game for the three players is to avoid the mines that the solo player drops from above the pool in which they are swimming underwater. The three players have a life meter; if they stay underwater too long, they will float to the top to get air, making it easier for the solo player to drop mines on them.

When the one player drops mines on all the other players, he or she wins, but if the three players survive long enough, they win.
