Playing Dragonsweeper because of Ars' article. Did I have any way out of this without guessing? (lemmy.world)

Ars called it their favorite of 2025 so far, and I'm enjoying it. Adds a nice if minor level of resource (health) management on top of regular Minesweeper. Free to play online.

Having learned more about the patterns, I can see that I should have

explored more near the (hint)6 since that's a Minotaur
spoiler and there will be a (spoiler) chest by it. :::

So with the board state as it was I couldn't necessarily have done better, but better strategy could have let me survive on the same initial board.

Still nowhere near the times some people are posting though.
