Minions is one of the puzzle games in the Diemakora collection. It loads in seconds and needs nothing installed. Minions asks you to think before you act. There is no clock chasing you in most levels — only a board, a set of rules, and the pleasure of the solution clicking into place. Its tags tell you what to expect: it exercises logic and quick thinking; remembering positions or sequences is the challenge; it is played with cards, so probability and memory matter.

Tips and tricks
- Use undo or restart freely. Experimenting is how you learn the mechanics; there is no penalty for trying an idea.
- If you are stuck for more than a couple of minutes, step away and come back. Puzzle solutions often arrive when you stop forcing them.
- Count. Tiles, moves, colours, matches — many puzzles are secretly arithmetic, and a quick count reveals the plan.
- Read the whole board before your first move. In most puzzle games the first move is the most important one, and it deserves ten seconds of looking.
- Because this is a Card game, track which cards have already been played.
