Minesweeper
Minesweeper Overview
The object of Minesweeper is to locate all the mines as quickly as possible without uncovering any of them. If you uncover a mine, you lose the game.
Play Minesweeper
To play Minesweeper, go to Start Menu, then Games -> select minesweeper,
on the Game menu, click New. To start the timer, click any square on the playing field.
If your computer do not have the game, go to Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs -> Add/Remove Windows Components, then make sure the Accessories and Utilities check box is tick, then double click this option, make sure the Games check box is tick, and finally click Next and follow the installation.
Or you can go to here and try.
Minesweeper Rules
- You can uncover a square by clicking it. If you uncover a mine, you lose the game.
-If a number appears on a square, it indicates how many mines are in the eight squares that surround the numbered one.
-To mark a square you suspect contains a mine, right-click it.
-The game area consists of the playing field, a mine counter, and a timer.
Strategies and tips
If you are uncertain about a square, right-click it twice to mark it with a question mark (?). Later, you can either mark the square as a mine or remove the markings by right-clicking the square again once or twice.
If you have marked all the mines around a numbered square, you can uncover the remaining squares around it by clicking the numbered square with the left and right mouse buttons simultaneously. If not all mines surrounding the numbered square have been marked, the remaining covered or unmarked squares will appear to be depressed (or flash) when the numbered square is clicked with both buttons simultaneously.
Look for common patterns in numbers, which often indicate a corresponding pattern of mines. For example, the pattern 2-3-2 at the edge of a group of uncovered squares indicates a row of three mines next to the three numbers.
