| Despite the "Hard" rating for the difficulty, these are perhaps the easiest of the Intricate Squares boards... which means if you think you've got a chance at the otherwise highly difficult boards of this style set, start with these ones. Remember to watch out with the L shapes since their adjacency to other tiles is most peculiar. |

| You'll frequently get good first clicks with this pattern, but once the excitement of that click is over you'll have quite a lot of work on your hands... |

| These star-like grids will look just as intimidating as the rest of the Intricate Squares boards, but ultimately is only... hard, as opposed to very hard, or impossible. |
Pattern 4
Sizes: Regular, Large | Difficulty: Very Hard |
Click for Pic |
| You'll usually get some good first clicks out of these boards, but then you're on your own. The use of skewed squares, regular squares, not to mention the usual L shapes, makes it extremely difficult to figure out where each mine is going to turn up. |

| The way the tiles are mixed together in this pattern, you would think the boards would be easier... alas, these are two of the toughest boards in the style set! |

| There is little to take for granted, if anything, when playing on one of the boards from this rotationally offset pattern. You'd better have your minesweeper math down-pat before challenging these boards... |
