Dead Lattice Turns Minesweeper Into a City-State

Field notes

The game maps Minesweeper onto an 81-block persistent city, with territory expanding from a headquarters into adjacent boards. Clearing a block wakes it for the lineage that read most cells, while supply trucks keep awake blocks running and can be mined or raided in transit. Datacenters contribute to victory; fabs produce a mine every forty seconds, and depots add trucks. The page states that a mine hit disables a drone for four seconds and removes half its carried mines.
