Hey Chris,
the game concept is very simple. It's the logistics of the game that make it
so difficult. Okay, so you clear cells, then see a bunch of other ones. some
of these cells are unknowns. They could be mines, or they might just be
clear. Then there are numbered cells. These are cleared cells that tell you
how many mines surround them. Let's start with a real simple example. You
are in a part of the screen where you have a cell labelled 1. All around
that labelled cell are other numbers, except for one unknown cell. This
unknown cell is a mine, and you need to flag it. Of course, life is never
that easy...
Now try visualizing this. There is a cell labeled 1. Above that labelled
cell is another 1. All around these are numbers except for two blank cells.
One of these is a mine, and the other is not and can't be, since otherwise
the 1 cells would say 2. What you do here is try to figure out, by reading
all the labeled cells that connect with each blank cell, and determine which
is the mine. There are, I'm sure, a whole host of strategies, but my left
brain, the logical part, isn't nearly as developed as my right brain. In
other words, I stink at the game and can't get much farther than
intermediate.
HTH anyway.

Subject: [Audyssey] Minesweeper, can you please try and explain?
Hello everyone, this is Chris here.
Sorry if this subject seems poor, but can you please try and explain a
successful game of Minesweeper?
I have Accessible Minesweeper for the iPhone and Gma Minebuster for the
Pc.
When I click on the first open cell, called the protected cell, I can
clear the cells, no problem!
However, please what on earth do I exactly do to the numbered cells, such
as "1 mine" or "2".
Asking because for some reason even if I click on just one open cell away
from the cell to which I suspect a mine is located, I end up exploding the
mine, thus losing the game!
I think it's the numbered cells I don't understand.
Now I admit I do win on Accessible Minesweeper sometimes on the basic grid
only, but have never won Gma Minebuster on any of the grids!
Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks! Before I go, I must admit it's a
good way to waste 5 minutes in a good way isn't it?
