The one difference is in re you sometimes go up no matter what because there isn't enough information. (in minesweeper I typically pick a few squares early because without them the game probably won't be solveable anyway. Typically in thegame once you have enough solved you have it all - once in a while a couple squares are unknowable. In re you hit points where you know all the clues can get you more often and so have to try something at random. Otoh it is much rarer in re for a wrong try to be catestropic [not unheard of but rare]
