Super Minesweeper --- Hexagons

Grid
Sizes:
Small, Medium, Large, Massive
Difficulty: Easy Click for Picture
Click for Pic
The best way to experience the simplicity of hexagonal minesweeping is with the Grid pattern boards. Each hexagon touches six other hexagons, which you think would make hexagons harder to deal with than squares, but in many ways it's this fact that makes hexagons easier to deal with than squares!
Hex Grid
Sizes:
Small, Medium, Large

This pattern is exactly like the Grid pattern except the hexagons are arranged within a hexagon instead of a rectangle. Click the picture links to see the difference.
Sawtooth
Sizes:
Small, Medium, Large
Difficulty: Moderate Click for Picture
Click for Pic
This grid-like pattern features hexagons with their sides pointing outward, alternating with hexagons that have their sides pointing inward. It is a highly deceptive pattern that takes a lot of getting used to. The inward hexagons each touch 8 others and the outward hexagons each touch 4.
Rails
Sizes:
Regular, Large
Difficulty: Hard Click for Picture

This difficult pattern features hexagons mixed in with H-shaped pieces. The result is every H-shaped piece touches 10 others while each hexagon only touches 4 H-shaped pieces. Because of how the H-Shapes touch beyond the hexagons immediately above and below you have to be very careful about where you click!
Flowerbed
Sizes:
Regular, Large
Difficulty: Moderate Click for Picture
Click for Pic
This odd pattern of hexagons and inward-pointing pentagons can really look intimidating, and because there's no real consistency between what tiles touch where you have to be just that much more careful, but once you get going on one of these boards it really turns out to be fairly simple, though still moderately challenging.
Mixed Sizes
Sizes:
Regular, Large
Difficulty: Easy Click for Picture
Click for Pic
Very intimidating to look at, tons of fun to play! Although there's no consistency at all between the various tiles in this pattern it's surprisingly easy to get the hang of how the tiles connect with each other, even if you're just a beginner.
