Minesweeper Flash: It's harder than you think

Minesweeper Flash
Look, I've been using Windows computers since the early 90s. So naturally I consider myself to halfway decent at Minesweeper. Not great, but halfway decent. But I have to say, Minesweeper Flash is throwing me for a loop.

This online game is inspired by the simple logic game that you know and love/hate so well. But in addition to changing the background rather dramatically, Minesweeper Flash shows the board at an angle. I wouldn't exactly call this a 3D version of Minesweeper, because the board is still on a single plane (you don't move vertically, just horizontally).

But somehow adding a little tilt to the board makes game play a lot more challenging. Don't believe me? Give it a try. It's a bit like learnign to play the game all over again. You know, for the few minutes until you get the hang of it anyway.
