    Wtf is the point of this game? I saw nothing but black squares and clicked a few and it said banned. It's dumb.

    Yeah, to be fair I did get a bit further than you did in it. Also it had teams and all of them compete to see who has more squares of your teams color. The team with the most color wins

    It's not really minesweeper when you can't actually use your brain to figure out where the mines are. It's basically Russian roulette

    You do use your brain If you actually know how to play it. I won so many times and I love it when the windows got bigger and bigger with more mines.

    I believe the mods said the final objective for teams was to get banned. 1 ban = 1 point for your team. Team with most ban-points wins. I think they actually explained this after the event was over? 😂 I thought that part was funny.
