If its own card (left) is large, let's choose a hammer quickly. Or not large, let's choose a washbasin. - One player : Play a match against iPhone. Perfect one is rather difficult although the iPhone is not strong. The number which won is located in a line with the ranking of GameCenter. - Two players : It is pitched against each other by people and a person. Let's play with a family and a friend. It will be a score, if a hammer strikes previously or it protects with a washbasin. It fights by a game 10 times!!
