Clear the mines! Expose squares one at a time by clicking on them. If the square you click on is vacant, you'll get to see how many of its neighbors have mines in them (0 through 8); but if the square has a mine in it, all the mines will explode.

Shift-click (or right-click) on a square to flag it as a suspected mine. Do it again to mark it as questionable, and again to clear the mark. When you've exposed all the vacant squares, you win. If a mine explodes, you lose. Click on the face to start a new game.

The left-hand counter shows the number of mines less the number of squares that you've flagged (correctly or not).

The version on this page is 8 by 8 with 10 mines. See also the intermediate (16 by 16 with 40 mines) and expert (30 by 16 with 99 mines) versions.
