About this game

From the box: Each player takes a black (number) and a white (colour) code counter and secretly places them with the colour and number facing him. The first player then places a row of code pegs in row no. 1. The other 3 players must give information about their own hidden code by placing either a black or white key peg in a key hole beside the first players code. The winner is the first player to break the code. Re-implements: Mastermind

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 4 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
