As you flag mines, you will also deduce that some squares cannot contain mines. If you figure out the location of a mine, you can then flag it by clicking on it with the right mouse button. The goal is to use these numbers to infer where the mines are.

A number indicates how many mines are in the surrounding squares. Some of the squares will have numbers in them.

This will uncover the square that the player clicked, as well as some of the surrounding squares. In the initial move, the player has to click anywhere on the board. Initially, every square is covered, and the player does not know what is hidden beneath the cover.
