Boxes and Bombs

How to Play

Upon starting a game, the player is presented with a grid of boxes. Revealing a box will either leave behind an empty spot or a number ranging from 1 to 6. The number indicates how many bombs can be found around that particular field. Bombs in diagonal directions are not counted.

The game is won when all boxes are either revealed or marked and lost when a bombed box is revealed.

Running the game requires the installation of the Visual C++ 2017 Runtime (x86), which can be downloaded at https://aka.ms/vs/15/release/vc_redist.x86.exe.
