Instead of throwing a remote mine on someone, or a wall or surface, you could throw a hole. Like, on a team one member throws a hole on a wall and two team members jump in, then the hole is picked up and moved to another location (behind a pillar, out of sight) and a carefully orchestrated ambush in a relatively open area is possible from an object no larger than a mine. Or if you know there's several people waiting in a hole you could pick it up and throw it off a cliff or fold it to cause it to no longer exist killing everyone inside it. You could even create 4-D spheres within a room and exist simultaneously in multiple instances. Fun for the whole family.
You'd need a mechanic to prevent someone from, say, grabbing a flag and then hiding forever in a hole until people give up out of frustration.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
