Description

Decipher is a classic board game that's all about cracking codes and outsmarting your opponent. First published in 1972, this game has been challenging players for decades with its unique blend of pattern recognition, secret unit deployment, and tile placement. The rules are simple to learn, so you can dive right in and start playing - a game typically lasts around 20 minutes, making it a great option for a quick showdown with a friend. In Decipher, you'll try to guess the five-letter word your opponent has set up, using a clever mechanic that involves asking about the position of specific letters in the alphabet.

With its combination of deduction and wordplay, Decipher is a fun and engaging game that's perfect for fans of word games and puzzles.
