Crystal Code (2006)

About this game

In Crystal Code the players have to use cunning and a bit of luck to arrange chains of pentagons. Arrange the chains fastest, and earn more crystals. Crystals give energy to the mysterious machine from the Renaissance. The player who has built the biggest working machine at the end of the game wins.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.4/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
