If you're bored and want to try another "variant" of minesweeper, I'd recommend this one I saw a while back. Someone made a mod for a Touhou game (it's a bullet hell), and one of the things they added was minesweeper. For reference, see the attached link. I think I copied it at the correct time, but if not, it's around 21:44 where they start playing the mode. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqO4k2mnfd2KfJY (For anyone who doesn't want to watch the video, the mode includes playing minesweeper normally and fighting against a minesweeper "boss" similar to 2:55 in this video, but in Touhou's style.)

I feel like the hyperbolic minesweeper could be an excellent prank of sorts. While the board is off camera (obscured by the hyperbolic view), make the board slightly larger. It's so disorientating that you'd only catch on after the board has expanded like 4 or 5 times

I once considered making a minesweeper variant that had changing terrain, to somewhat simulate an active conflict. Idea was every turn (defined as 10 clicks), there was a % chance that an event would happen, where events could be things like an enemy deploying more mines to the field via artillery, which would reset an area and make visible numbers out of date. It worked, but unfortunately it just didn't add as much as I hoped to the experience, and I abandoned the concept.

[@joshpatton757]

@@sr.favopossodeixarvaziosim4595 Heh, yeah, kinda. Inspiration actually was the the first defense of Vuhledor (sp?). My events included: - artillery deployed mines already described. - friendly tank incursion: tanks would move down a column and had a 60% chance to detonate each time they encountered an unflagged mine. Tanks getting across gave rewards. Sometimes tanks would have mine-removal equipment attached, which would remove the first mine only. - enemy tank incursion: same as above, except only flagged mines detonate tanks and you get rewards for destroying them. - enemy drone deployment: 5 3x3 spots on the map would get reset, one of which would now have a mine. - enemy sniper deployed: checking areas and flagging mines now costs 2 clicks (speeds up rate of events), persists until 3 events have triggered.

@bobgamer150 the game tracks the 3 last locations you clicked. When you click again, the oldest click is overwritten, and the previously shown region is obscured again.
