Description

Test your code-cracking prowess with mastermind, the challenging game of logic and deduction. Can you crack The code in 10 moves or less? Can you create a code that can’t be cracked? With more than 55 million units sold, mastermind is a great strategy game, and one of the worlds most popular games ever. It’s easy to learn and fast to play, and with more than 2,000 possible codes, it’s different every time. The codemaker sets a secret code, and then the codebreaker Tries to match the code using logic, deduction, and maybe even a little bit of luck. After each move, the codemaker gives clues to the codebreaker. Make the code even more devious by using multiple pegs of the same color or by leaving one or more peg holes empty. With so many possible code combinations, every game is guaranteed to be a brainteaser. For 2 players, ages 8 and up. Includes game console with built-in storage tray and Code peg shield, 108 Code pegs in 6 colors, 30 key pegs in two colors, and complete instructions.
