Everyone's played this game when their boss wasn't looking.

Minesweeper is a classic case of the advantage of a monopoly since the only reason you know this game is because it was included with Windows and Windows is everywhere. Is the game really that great? I don't know... it's a puzzle game, so it is what it is, I suppose. It was unique at the time, was free and included with many computers, and it looks alright. So, that's a significant advantage over most games.

At any rate, I'm sure you all have your techniques for playing this time waster. The goal is to find the bombs without blowing up and the only clue you get is how many bombs are close to the tile you just clicked. You have to think a bit and I'm sure there are some fancy algorithms to solve various cases. My method: click randomly a few times trying to get a big open spot and hopefully avoiding bombs, then go to work.

So, for me, this is a game of hope and logic.

And a smiley face!
