Minesweeper, But The Numbers Aren't What You Think!

14 Minesweeper Variants Part 6 - they don't just lie, they completely lie. This is truly shameless lying. However, there is a different type of logic to the numbers, and it's certainly interesting. I think you'll enjoy it!

yes minesweeper battle two people have small minesweeper boards first to beat a board adds another mine to the other, boards increase in x for the new boards then y for the new boards then repeat for every win if you hit a mine you lose 5:00 timer if nobody loses whoever has a higher score wins. non-mines clicked = +1 point, correctly flagged mines = +2 points, incorrectly flagged cells = -3 points, board completed = +((0.5*boardCells)moduloFloorOrWhateverIdk), if it's a tie it's a tie, also add a ranked mode to fairly battle

@WanderTheNomad Жыл бұрын

The key word to keep in mind is "sums". If there's a 0, it's either 0 - 0, or 1 - 1, or 2 - 2. Then with all the other numbers you just tip the scale towards one of the colors so they match the number. Kinda like the "health bar" in Inscryption. If you've dealt 1 damage to your enemy and they deal 1 damage to you, no damage has been taken by anyone. Except here it's mines in black and white squares.

I think this has some of the most inventive minesweeper rules I've seen. The snake one seemed fun, but the difference one felt absolutely mind breaking, and I think that's the first time I've felt that way about one of these games. The cross one, if anything, seemed tame, since Hex Cells has its area and linear clues. Regardless, I'm definitely looking forward to more of this series.
