You all know that game, right? Some may say it's a pure guessing game. However, some people like to play the game competitively and professionally, hilariously enough.

Discuss the game and some tips and tricks here.

Ah yes, Minesweeper. I suck at it.

It's not really a pure guessing game- You're given hints, and you need to use those hints to come to a logical conclusion. It's just like sudoku. (Which I coincidentally also suck at) I might play one of the Minesweeper games they've created here right now.

I figured out how to play it without reading any instructions.
Who has played 3D minesweeper using a Leap Motion controller? It is a lot more difficult than normal 2D minesweeper.

Same here.

I disagree with it being pure guesswork. If you're even averagely good (like me) and the implementation you're using doesn't set you up by making you hit a mine on the first turn (the kindle easter egg one does, unfortunately, I hope no others do though), it's always possible to win with enough skill.

Minesweeper is so, so hard.

And so, so addicting. xD
I have actually beaten it twice. On the easy setting. After an hour.
lol

I wouldn't call Minesweeper a guessing game either, it's just that some do think that it is a guessing game.

My biggest problem is that I keep thinking that a mine will be in one spot, flag it, and click directly next to it and reveal a mine.
