HOW TO PLAY

Minefield

Uncover safe ground, read the number clues and never reveal a mine.

SETUP

Get ready

Ten mines are hidden across a shared 9×9 field; the opening choice is always made safe.

HOW TO PLAY

Take your turn

  1. Choose one hidden square.
  2. A safe square shows how many mines touch it; empty regions open automatically.
  3. Safe squares score for the side that uncovers them. Revealing a mine ends the match.
WINNING

Finish on top

The opposing side wins immediately after a mine is uncovered; if every safe square is cleared, the higher safe-square score wins.

QUICK TIPS

Play smarter

  • A numbered square with all its mines accounted for makes its other neighbours safe.
  • Use opened empty regions to establish the edge of a mine cluster.
