Rules of Minesweeper Game

If you are into logic-based gaming, Minesweeper is for you. Played on the computer, the game comprises a board with squares. These squares contain safe cells, empty cells as well as mines. Your role, as the player, is to unlock the safe cells without detonating the mine.

If a mine is detonated, you lose the game. You can choose to restart the game, but it will be all from square one.

There are three different levels of gameplay –
  1. Beginner
  2. Intermediate
  3. Advanced
The higher the difficulty level, the more is the number of squares in the game. More squares mean more mines, which makes the game complex, yet interesting. At first, you may feel like Minesweeper is a game of luck, but that is not the case. Sure, luck plays a part, but it is to the minimum. The game includes hints and if you follow the hints, progression becomes fast and interesting. Because you are playing against time, it is pivotal to be quick and at the same time, same as much of it as possible. Remember, as indicated on the board, the surrounding eight cells carry at least one mine.
If you successfully manage to click on a cell that does not contain a mine, then the adjacent cells are revealed automatically thus saving you time.

In order to win, you do not have to click on all the cells, but the right ones. To do so, you must learn about the game’s pattern. If you familiarize yourself with the pattern, you will find yourself clicking on the right cells, in the process saving a lot of time, and more importantly, winning.
