Description

Mastermind is a classic game of logic and deduction that's easy to learn but challenging to master. Designed by Mordecai Meirowitz and first published in 1971, it's a game that's been thrilling players for decades. In this abstract strategy game, two players compete against each other, one as the codemaker and the other as the codebreaker. The codemaker sets a secret code and the codebreaker tries to crack it using induction and deduction. With no necessary in-game text, Mastermind is a game that can be enjoyed by players of all languages. Each game is different, with over 2,000 possible codes to crack. The codemaker gives clues after each move, helping the codebreaker to refine their guesses. With a playtime of just 20 minutes, Mastermind is a quick and exciting game that's perfect for players aged 8 and up.
