When I was little I didn't know how to play so I random clicked and completed it in 2 seconds. I couldn't believe and it was amazing and I had record written but I clicked some buttons for some reason and I didn't understand English so I deleted it.... It's so awesome when I remember it now .... True story.
When I was a security guard way back when, I used to play this all the time. I understood how the numbers worked when locating the mines but didn't know clicking a number cleared spaces. I also used options to increase the size of the board. I was a minesweeper addict at the time. Almost zen-like when I played for hours.
@toilet paper you can only click on them when you flagged enough blocks around them so they match the numbers, and if you flagged it in the wrong places, you will just open blocks that contain mines and lose the game.
"Your first click would never end the game" You son of a- when i was a kid EVERY Gaddamn click was an insta kill! Is my pc busted or am i just terribly unlucky?!
Last year, after playing this game on the very old computer I had for hours upon hours, I accidentally pressed a random square and actually won the entire game - just by clicking that one square. In like 1 second. I have no idea how that happened, but it was the greatest feeling of accomplishment I ever had. And I have never won a single Minesweeper game ever after that.
Ah, the memories. This is a nice explanation. I actually figured this out on my own and got good. Thanks for teaching the newer generations how to play this wonderful little game.
We all got memories with this game haha, i guess literally every single human in this comment section used to random click this game and depending on his luck to win :)
after 20 years, we finally found someone experienced in real minesweeping to play minesweeper in the game and explain what’s going on with those numbers.😎
This is amazing. I already knew the rules of minesweeper before watching this video, but you did such a good job slowly an easily explaining the rules of it that I'm certain that the others could learn allot from it.
Your first click always gets counted as correct. I noticed that. If you played Knuckles Minesweeper on Sonic Battle, the first selection could be a mine, and that surprised me, because I noticed that it never happens in the original Minesweeper.
Wow, this simple game requires much more 'mind work' than 80% of games out there. This video has renewed an appeal in me towards this time probably because I had last played it about a decade ago spam clicking the squares.
This is the best explanation I've seen. I saw the game on computers 20 years ago tried on rare occasions to play it but there was no explanation and it seemed to be pure luck.
@@Jay-qs2oi even if there was I bet a good percentage of us didn't know how. Heck we didn't even know searching up on the interner was a thing back then
A tile is either a mine, a number, or empty. A number tile shows how many mines are included in its neighbouring squares (including diagonal.). Clicking on a number tile reveals it. Clicking on an empty tile reveals it and all of the other empty tiles touching each other, group of empty tiles will be surrounded with number tiles. Mine tiles has mine on them and ends the game if you click on one. Left click to reveal a tile, right click to flag the tiles that have mines in them. Middle click a revealed number tile to "chord" them, this means that it opens up every non revealed tiles around that number, excluding the flagged tiles. You can only chord a number tile if there are enough flags, 1 flag needs to be touching a 1 tile to chord it and so on. Meaning that if you play without flags to be fast, you wont be able to chord. You have to reveal every empty and number tiles, mine tiles do not have to be flagged to win.
There's a one to the left, A three to the right, This square might be a mine! There's a two up above, And a six straight across, Put a flag down here, We'll clear out several Blocks to the north With a four down below, You can mark this space a mine! 'Cause there's seven in the middle And a five on the top, Make it three And sweep it down! Cuz the Minesweeper’s in town!
I LITERALLY HAD NO IDEA THERE WAS A REAL STRATEGY TO THIS GAME ALL THIS TIME I THOUGHT THE CLOSEST IT CAME TO STRATEGY WAS RANDOMLY CLICKING AND HOPING YOU DIDN'T LOSE
I came here because my daughter plays this game a lot and loves it. It looked interesting to me but I didn’t understand what to do when she explained how to play the game to me. This video made me understand it better though. Now, I think I’m on the same page as her. Thanks!
I'd never thought i would be sooo happy about playing minesweeper I'm 15 and the game is probably one of the best inventions of the past like it's such a good game for your brain to process stuff also Nice tutorial I always clicked randomly and I was happy when I didn't lose after 5 clicks You just gained a sub Have a good Month sir!
finally after 19 years of randomly clicking on those buttons, i know how to play.. thanks!
ha ha! I'm glad this helped! Nice!
