The objective of the game is to discover all mines by uncovering all tiles that do not have them. Based on these numbers, the player has to deduce where exactly the mines are. If an uncovered tile does not have a mine beneath it but there are some mines in the adjacent tiles, the tile in question will display a number of mines that are present in its surrounding eight tiles. If the player uncovers a tile with a mine, the game is lost. The player has to uncover the tiles that do not have mines beneath them and flag those that do. Some of the tiles hide mines beneath them. The game starts with a board of covered tiles.
