Decipher (1972)

About this game

Set up a 5-letter-word and try to guess the opponents. The mechanic is to ask the other person which letter is on the nth position of his alphabet - the missing letters are omit and so the transition tells you the alphabet.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. No complexity score has been recorded for this one.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
