    It’s super simple!

    You click a square, it’s either a bomb or not. If it’s not, it will show a number telling you how many of the surrounding 8 squares contain a bomb. If a square has 0 bombs in surrounding squares it will just open, so you save unnecessary clicks. It’s the goal to click every square that does not contain a bomb. If you click a bomb, you lose.

    After understanding the rules you can beat the game super quick and easily.

      Except when its a 50/50 in the corner. That happens so much and i will never recover from that anxiety.

        Ever tried Logic Minesweeper? It’s pretty cool: It’s basically Minesweeper without randomness:
        If you guess and have to guess because it’s impossible to know that any square has no bomb, it will always not be a bomb and you can continue.
        But if you guess and click on a square where you don’t know whether it’s a bomb while there are other squares where you could know it and safely click on it, it will always be a bomb and you’ll lose!

        So in summary: No randomness (no random dying because you had to guess and no random clicking on squares because you’re currently in a difficult situation).
