In this article, I named several networks on which Netsweeper can be played. This will help you sweep through any network, and you might also learn some network science on the way! Basic deduction rules In the remainder of this article, we will discuss strategies for playing this game, and how this strategy depends on the characteristics of the network that we are playing on. The game can be played at the bottom of this page. This gives us a far more general version of the original Minesweeper game, that we name Netsweeper, since we replace the old-fashioned grid by a network. In such a game, would you start by stepping on the team that won the tournament (and thus played against the most other teams), or would you start with a team that dropped out at the beginning? Introducing Netsweeper For example, we could create a network out of the UEFA EURO 2020 football cup where each node represents one of the 24 football teams and each link represents one of the 51 matches. We could go even further than this by abandoning the notion that the network should represent adjacent shapes. For example, we could simply take the twelve provinces of the Netherlands as nodes and connect them by a link if they share a border. This abstract way of looking at the game allows us to come up with many different versions of the game by simply replacing this network. The minefield could then be viewed as a network where each node corresponds to a location and where adjacent locations are connected by a link. If we look at this game and these variants more abstractly, then what all these versions have in common is that the ‘minefield’ can be described as a number of locations (squares, triangles, hexagons or cubes) and some way of telling which locations are adjacent. There exist many variants of this game, including versions with triangular grids, hexagonal grids and three-dimensional layouts. If this description does not yet trigger nostalgia, then it may be good to try out the original game before reading the rest of the article. Transporting players to a land of warriors, explorers and mythology, the game is set in a Scandinavian backdrop 'of crisp blue skies, green valleys, and roaring seas.The game is won when all squares without mines have been stepped on.

The boot also means the player loses all their accumulated cash prizes previously won.Įach time a player bags a fish, they can choose to continue selecting remaining tiles to achieve the Maximum Win, or they can cash out. Players select tiles within the grid to reveal either a fish symbol, which increases their prize pot, or the mine, shown in-game as the boot, which ends the game. "Pressing 'play' kick-starts the underwater world of fishing fun, packed with huge potential wins," the company explained the game. The more boots are chosen, the bigger the cash prize and the higher the risk. They can choose to have between one to ten boots on the grid. Players start by placing their bets and selecting their preferred level of volatility, represented as the number of boots on the grid. Played on a 5x5 grid, it is the first among Inspired's upcoming Finder series.
