The goal of the game is to discover all squares that do not contain mines without being "destroyed" by clicking on the mines. The location of the mines is discovered through a logical process. Clicking on the game panel will reveal what's hidden below the selected square (if they're next to each other, it might reveal a lot of blank squares at once). Some squares are blank, but some contain number
s, each number being the number of mines adjacent to the uncovered square. Once all blank squares have been found without hitting a mine, the game is won and any remaining mines not identified by the marker will be automatically marked by the computer.
