Love that game

A great game

Mastermind is a great game. This is a fine version, but the plastic-drawers are a bit weak. I don't know if a wooden version exists (or how much it would cost), but for the "serious" player that would be a better option. For the casual player who brings this out every now-and-again, this one works just fine.

Mastermind is a code breaking game. It's quick and easy to learn but can be difficult to win. I had this game as a kid and bought it for my kids. We have had it over a year now and they still play it, unlike many other games I have purchased. How to play: One person sets up the code (code master) using colored pegs. The other person (code breaker) needs to break the code in less than 10 tries to win. The code master lets the code breaker know if she/he has the correct colored pegs in the correct order each round. The code breaker has 10 chances to break the code. If the code breaker figures it out he/she gets a point, if not the code master gets the point. Then players switch sides and scores can be kept on the board for most wins. This board is constructed of plastic as well as the pegs. States it is for ages 8 and up. This is pretty accurate as I think it may be a little difficult for younger kids to have this much strategy. I don't think there is an age where someone outgrows the game. Keep in mind, this game has a ton of small pieces that can be lost or put in the mouth. This is something to keep in mind if purchasing for a gift.

One of the best board games. I used to play this with my father when I was a kid. Finding this again and remembering it was an absolute gem. There’s just something overall nostalgic about this addictive game.

Ok. I'm old. So, I remember the original version of this game and the gosh awful loud coloring. This new version is sleek and modern. Regardless, of which version you have this game is so fun. Purchased for a 10 year old, said 10 year old has had a blast being the codebreaker. It's a bit more of a challenge for him as a code maker. There are plenty of teachable moments as I get the opportunity to coach him through strategic play. The older family members enjoy it too. It's a quick game to play through which is nice. You can bust out a quick play while dinner is on the stove or you're waiting for practice to start.

Great old school game that requires one to think and use process of elimination to problem solve and figure out the answer.

Lo compré a falta del original y tengo que devolverlo

Wir sind mit dem Spiel sehr zufrieden! Es ist stabil. Die Stecker gehen gut rein und raus. Wer das alte Spiel kennt, kann zufrieden mit dieser Ausführung sein. Wir haben viel Spaß.

Still awesome! I like the drawer that can keep the code peg neatly.

Jogo fantástico. Minha família amou.

Arrived when expected and is a great game. Only thing I don’t like is the cover for where you place the 4 color pegs is too shallow for adult fingers to take color pegs in and out easily without removing it. Can pop off the cover but shouldn’t have to. More of a design flaw but doesn’t change how fun this retro game is to play. Would purchase from this seller again.
