Microsoft Minesweeper
Click speed only matters for leaderboard times

Guild of Dungeoneering
Hero AI follows fixed lure rules, never adapts
Microsoft Minesweeper
No opponent, just a static hidden board

Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Guild of Dungeoneering
Card draws and loot rolls swing every delve
Microsoft Minesweeper
Mine placement is hidden information forcing occasional pure guesses

Deck knowledge and dungeon-tile baiting are the solvable core
Microsoft Minesweeper
Constraint deduction from number clues is fully solvable logic
