No Man's Strait
The third board moves to the Persian Gulf side of the peninsula: a broad sheet of open water against the western coast, nearly twice the size of Sanctions Season and wide enough that you solve it in regions.

No Man's Strait is a single large basin west of the headland. Its inland edge follows the coast and its seaward edge runs out into open water, so the middle of the board is pure open-water minesweeper with eight neighbours per tile, while the shoreline hands you the easy reads. The peninsula coast on the east side is long and jagged and is where most games get going.
At 615 tiles the board is too big to read in one glance. Zoom in to work a section, zoom out to pick the next one. The HUD's flag counter stays useful all game because the mine count is high enough that a miscount shows up.
Mines by difficulty
Difficulty sets the mine density. The exact count is fixed per board, so a No Man's Strait game on Hard always has 123 mines. The in-game MENU switches difficulty at any time; the links below open the board at that tier directly.

How to play No Man's Strait
- Open on one side and finish most of it before crossing. Solving a basin gives you a solid wall of numbers to read the narrows from.
- Treat the peninsula coast like an edge: numbers along it see fewer tiles and resolve first.
- Use chording. Tap a satisfied number to clear its remaining neighbours in one move; on a board this size it saves hundreds of taps.
