Steam beta: get a key

Two pieces from the hand open closed cells. Three flags go up in a row, and a rook runs through all three, defusing the mines under them and opening the cells.
  1. A visitor! We're the knights. I'm White, I count mines.
  2. I'm Black. I count the closed cells that hide my own digit.

The rules in short

Mines hide under the sudoku. Get every one of them off the board and you win.

  • Place a digit

    Place a digit

    Put a piece on a closed cell. The right digit opens it. With a wrong digit, the piece sits out for the rest of the board. A mine blows up the piece, whatever its digit, and costs a life.

  • Defuse the mines

    Defuse the mines

    Flag a cell you think hides a mine. A rook or bishop that runs through the flag defuses it; with no mine there, the piece stops on a question mark and sits out. Sure of a mine? Probe it: a fuse burns round the cell and defuses what's under it. An empty probe costs a life.

  • Read the sensors

    Read the sensors

    Every piece on the board shows a number. A white piece's shield counts the mines in its zone. A black piece's diamond counts the closed cells in its zone that hide its own digit. A cell's round token counts the mines around it.

All the rules

One board a day

Daily #1 in the train car: a rook opens a cell and runs through a line of flags, defusing the mines under them. Two probes find the last ones, and the train pulls into the station.

Everyone plays the same board, one try each. A new board comes out at midnight UTC. After a win or loss, vote for tomorrow's 6×6, 8×8 or 10×10 board.

Defuse every mine to win. A win adds 1 to your Daily streak, a loss keeps it, and a day without a finished Daily resets it to 0. Share the result card or connect Steam to sync your results.
