Aim
The goal of the game is to uncover all the squares
that do not contain mines (with the left mouse button) without being
"blown up" by clicking on a square with a mine underneath.
Background
This is a single-player puzzle computer game written by
Robert Donner and Curt Johnson. It is a deceptively simple test of memory and
reasoning.
Instructions
Open Minesweeper and pick your
difficulty. When you open the game, click on the "Game" menu and
choose beginner, intermediate, expert or custom.
-
Start the game by clicking on one of
the squares in the grid. The first space you click will never contain a mine.
-
Make your second move. Your second
move can be the beginning of locating mines or a complete guess depending on
the success of your first move.
-
Begin isolating mines as soon as you
have an open area. The numbers will tell you how many mines are touching that
space so you need to use these to find the mines.
-
Continue with the game until you
uncover all the spaces that are not mines or until you click on a mine and
lose. Sometimes you will be faced with a situation where you will have to guess
at where a mine is. This is particularly common on expert mode, so there is
still an aspect of luck as well as skill.
