About this game
Minesweeper Duel turns the solo mine-hunting puzzle into a head-to-head contest. Two players share one field and take turns opening cells, either online against a friend or against the computer.
Scoring is what changes the familiar game. When you open a cell, you earn points equal to the number on it, and whoever has the higher total wins. Hit a mine, though, and you lose on the spot, whatever the score says. So every turn weighs the value of a cell against the chance that it hides a mine, with your opponent waiting to profit from either.
Three field sizes are available, named Newbie, Amateur and Professional. Thinking time on each turn is limited, and you choose between three time modes: Bullet, Blitz and Classic. Input is a mouse click or a tap, and the frame is a wide one.
How to play
Choose an opponent: a friend online or the computer. Pick a field size, Newbie, Amateur or Professional, and a time mode, Bullet, Blitz or Classic. On your turn, click or tap a cell to open it and collect points equal to its value. Then your opponent does the same. Avoid mines: opening one loses the game immediately.
Controls
Mouse
- Click a cell to open it
Touch
- Tap a cell to open it
Tips
A mine ends the match outright, so a lead in points means nothing if you take a careless risk to extend it. Each turn has a time limit, so use your opponent's turn to decide which cells you consider safe. Start on the Newbie field size before trying Professional.
