<title>Game rules</title>
<p>The aim of <app>Mines</app> is to clear the minefield without detonating
any of the mines.</p>
<steps>
<item>
<p>Start by choosing one of the three default board sizes, or by
selecting a custom board.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>The game begins with the board covered in tiles. Click on any tile to
uncover it. You will reveal:</p>
<list>
<item>
<p>A colored number, which represent the number of mines in the
adjacent tiles. This will help you deduce where the mines are so that
you can mark them with <link xref="flags">flags</link>.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>A blank tile, which means there are no mines under any of the
adjacent tiles.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>A mine, which will detonate and end the game.</p>
</item>
</list>
</item>
<item>
<p>Repeat the previous step until you have uncovered all the tiles which
do not have mines underneath them.</p>
</item>
</steps>
<p>If you complete the game quickly enough, you will be added to the <link xref="high-scores">high scores</link> list.</p>
