How to Play

Objective: Clear a rectangular board containing hidden "mines" without detonating any of them, with help from clues about the number of neighboring mines in each field.

Basics

Click / Tap a cell to reveal it.
If the revealed cell is a number, it indicates how many mines are in the 8 adjacent cells.
If the revealed cell is blank, all 8 adjacent cells are safe and will be revealed automatically.
Right-click or Tap and Hold a cell to flag it as a potential mine. This prevents you from accidentally clicking it.

Game Modes & Scoring

Player vs Player (PvP): Take turns revealing cells. You get 1 point for each safe cell you reveal. Revealing a blank area gives you points for all cells uncovered. If you hit a mine, your turn ends, you lose 10 points, and the mine is revealed. The player with the highest score when all safe cells are revealed wins.
Player vs AI (PvAI): Same as PvP, but you play against a computer opponent. You go first.
AI vs AI (AIvAI): Watch two AI players compete. A great way to learn strategies!

The AI

The AI uses deductive logic. It analyzes the numbers on the board to find guaranteed safe cells to click and guaranteed mines to flag. It is also smart enough to identify when a flag is incorrect (based on surrounding number clues) and will remove it. When no certain move exists, it will make a random guess.
