 - as a [library](https://npmx.dev/package/@ayo-run/mnswpr) with `npm i @ayo-run/mnswpr`
 - as a `web component` (coming soon).
 
+Using it as a library takes only a few lines — mount it onto any element by `id`:
+
+```js
+import '@ayo-run/mnswpr/mnswpr.css'
+import mnswpr from '@ayo-run/mnswpr'

+## How to Play
+
+The goal is to reveal every safe cell without detonating a mine. Your **first click is always safe**.
+
+- **Left click** — reveal a cell
+- **Right click** — flag / unflag a suspected mine
+- **Left + right click together** (chording) — reveal the neighbors of a satisfied number
+- **Touch** — tap to reveal, long-press to flag
