Ages: 8+. Players: 2. Play Time: 20 min. Put your code - cracking skills to the test with Mastermind, an exciting logic and deduction game. Can you crack the code within 10 moves? Or can you set an uncrackable code? With over 55 million units sold, it's one of the world's most beloved strategy games. It's super easy to learn and quick to play. There are more than 2,000 possible codes, so every game is unique. The Codemaker sets a secret code, and the Codebreaker uses logic, deduction, and a bit of luck to match it. After each turn, the Codemaker gives clues. You can make the code trickier by using multiple pegs of the same color or leaving holes empty. Each game is a real brain - teaser. This set includes a game board with a built - in storage tray and code peg shield, 108 code pegs in 6 colors, 30 key pegs in two colors, and full instructions.

Using Mastermind is a breeze. First, the Codemaker sets a secret code on the board using the code pegs. The Codebreaker then tries to guess the code by placing pegs on their side of the board. After each guess, the Codemaker gives clues with the key pegs to show how close the guess is. Keep making guesses until you crack the code or reach 10 moves. When you're done playing, use the built - in storage tray on the game board to keep all the pegs organized. Make sure to handle the pegs gently to avoid breakage. If the pegs get dirty, you can wash them with mild soap and water and let them dry completely before putting them away. Have fun playing this engaging game of logic and deduction!
