How To Play Hex Minesweeper

The objective of Hex Minesweeper is to locate all the mines in the mine field as quickly as possible.  To do this you must Expose all of the hexes that do not contain mines and Mark all of the hexes that do contain mines.

If you uncover all of the hexes without mines, and mark all of the hexes with mines then you win.  If you uncover a hex that contains a mine then you lose.  The faster you play, the faster your time and the better your score.

Mine Counter

The Mine Counter is in the upper left of the playing area.  The Mine Counter initially contains the total number of mines in the mine field.  Each time you mark a mine, the Mine Counter is decremented, even if you incorrectly marked a hex.


Scoring

The upper right counter is the Game Timer.  The timer starts when you click on your first hex and stops when the game ends.  The lower you time, the better your score.

Expose and Mark
Exposing and Marking Hexes

Mark a hex as a mine by clicking on it with the right mouse button.  Mark it as a question by clicking on the hex again with the right mouse button.  Right click on the hex a third time to clear it (no mark.)

Expose a hex by clicking on it with the left mouse button.  If the hex is marked, you must unmark the hex before you can expose it.

You can also expose hexes by Clearing around other hexes that have already been exposed.


Clearing
Clearing Around a Hex

To clear around an exposed hex, point to the hex and click both the left and right mouse buttons at the same time.  All of the adjacent, unmarked, hexes will be exposed.

You can not clear around hexes that have not yet been exposed.

You can not clear around a hex if the number displayed in the hex is not the same as the number of adjacent hexes that are marked as having a mines.  For example if you click on a hex labeled 2, but only one of its adjacent hexes is marked as having a mine then nothing will happen.

If you clear around a hex and there is an unmarked mine in one of the adjacent hexes, then the mine is exposed and the game is over.
