Questions
An open square shows 2. What does it mean?
Two of its eight neighbours are mines.
What happens when you uncover a blank square?
A blank has no mines around it, so the game opens its neighbours for you.
Can your first tap on BoardGameSite be a mine?
No. The mines are laid after your first tap, never on it or next to it.
