Let's take over A Few Billion Square Tiles

harrison shared a link said Thu, Jul 17th 2014 at 2:29pm ET

I've started playing a free iOS game called A Few Billion Square Tiles. It's a massively multiplayer Minesweeper game where tiles you uncover count as "captured territory" that belongs to you. If you want to see what I've captured, just click that link and type "harrison" in the search box.

If any of you are playing or start playing, I've formed a clan named "Meh." When you download it, just go into the settings menu (gear) and click "Join Clan" then type "Meh" in the box. It'll add our tiles together, and hopefully we can achieve supreme dominance over the board! Or at least get our rank down to two digits.

- Yeah, you can't play it on your new Kindle Fire HDX. Sorry.

Not for Windows Phone? This seems like sacrilege, considering the origin of the game's popularity.

Nothing on iOS is free... At a minimum the cost is some of your dignity.

I'd join the game but after years of playing Minesweeper on our Windows 95 computer, I still have no idea what I'm doing.

I joined. It's weird, I'm used to playing for speed, not accuracy.

Can't. Stop.

Had I told you about my debilitating minesweeper addiction, and how I've been clean for 8 years now, perhaps you would not have led me into temptation.

- I'd feel bad but the Meh clan is ranked 81 now, and that frankly takes priority over your well-being.

- I dug out my old ipad 2, cleaned it, charged it (first world problems) and joined. I'm pretty sure I took you backward.

- @harrison Yeah I can't blame you for wanting a retired champion on your team. I got first place easily when I played for a whole hour's run.

@harrison, she even has an "old sweeper injury that never quite healed". Be careful with the candy crack.

- I think I hurt myself holding my iPad in the same position for too long again.

It started calling my name. It opened by itself when I was using my iPad for other things. I fed my pets an hour late.

I had to uninstall 😔
