Mastermind

Who cracks the code first? In Mastermind one player thinks up a secret code and the other tries to work it out. Step by step you get closer, using logical thinking, sharp eyes and sometimes a little luck. After every attempt you get clues. Is a colour correct? Is it in the right spot? That is how you puzzle your way towards the answer. The lovely thing is that the game takes seconds to explain, yet plays out differently every time. With more than 2,000 possible codes there is always a new challenge. Do you want to make it extra hard for your opponent? Then use several pegs of the same colour, or leave a hole empty. Now it really is code cracking. Mastermind is a game for two players aged 8 and up and takes about 20 minutes. Perfect for the kitchen table, puzzling together and seeing who thinks the sharpest. The box contains a game board with a storage compartment and shield, 108 code pegs in 6 colours, 30 clue pegs in two colours and clear instructions.
