ANTB GAME GUIDE
Mines is a browser-based mine-clearing puzzle built for quick breaks and longer strategic sessions. The aim is simple: uncover every safe square without opening a mine. Each revealed number tells you exactly how many mines touch that square, including diagonally. Use those clues together and the field becomes a deduction problem rather than a guessing game.
Beginner uses a compact 9 × 9 field with 10 mines. Intermediate expands to 16 × 16 with 40 mines. Expert uses a wide 30 × 16 field containing 99 mines. Custom mode lets you choose your own dimensions and mine count, making it useful for short practice rounds or unusually difficult challenges.
Switch between the neon modern board and the classic desktop-inspired view at any time without restarting the current game. Sound, question-mark flags, preferred difficulty and best completion times are stored only in this browser using local storage. No account is required and game progress is not uploaded to ANTB.
Start by opening space and look for definite patterns. A “1” touching only one covered square identifies a mine. If a numbered square already touches the required number of flags, every other covered neighbour is safe. Work from certain information, recheck overlapping clues and avoid placing speculative flags—the mine counter is most useful when every flag marks a deduction.
