It’s super simple!
You click a square, it’s either a bomb or not. If it’s not, it will show a number telling you how many of the surrounding 8 squares contain a bomb. If a square has 0 bombs in surrounding squares it will just open, so you save unnecessary clicks. It’s the goal to click every square that does not contain a bomb. If you click a bomb, you lose.
After understanding the rules you can beat the game super quick and easily.
Except when its a 50/50 in the corner. That happens so much and i will never recover from that anxiety.
if you’re interested, try Antimine on Fdroid, best minesweeper app I’ve found, and it’s open source
Good recommendation, thanks. Another game on fdroid that’s worth trying is Mindustry, but it’s a totally different kind of game.
