MINESWEEPER

Minesweeper is a solo strategy game in which the player must use logic to win

Objective: Reveal all tiles NOT containing mines/locate all mines on the field

Field: 10 x 10 grid of tiles with 16 mines randomly scattered throughout

Play: Click on tiles to reveal what is underneath. If a tile is clicked that is surrounded by no mines, every space between the clicked tile and one with a number or a mine will be revealed.

Rules: If you click a tile with a mine, you lose. Tiles will display a mine (the number 9), the number of mines directly surrounding the space (spaces in the 3 x 3 square with the clicked tile in the center), or a blank space indicating that no mines are surrounding it. Until clicked or revealed, any given tile is hidden/covered.

Strategy: Using the numbers of mines surrounding various spaces, the player must narrow down where a mine cannot be, where a mine could be, and where a mine must be. When the player can confirm the location(s) of the/all mine(s) surrounding a number, every other space surrounding said tile will be safe to click.
