Most of the times Minesweeper is deterministic, and you can just think and get an empty spot. From time to time, you are unlucky and has to guess.

A few years ago, I modified the version of minesweeper in the "Games" collection of Racket to get more mines per board and get more hard cases. (I added the trick to autoopen the squares that have enough flags around, so it solved all the easy cases and it was more fun. I never upstreamed the changes...)

I like Dragonsweeper (discussed in a sibling comment) because it has a more clear probability and information tradeoff.
