 MasterMind Rules

One player, the Codemaker, selects a number of colored pegs and arranges them in a row on the top of the board. Then he hides the combination.

The other player (the Codebreaker) attempts to crack the secret combination by constructing succesive "guess combinations" on the board. The Codemaker gives him certain clues about each guess, using small black and white pegs.

The small black pegs show the number of Codebreaker's pegs which are the same color and in the same place as the pegs in the Codemaker's combination.

The small white pegs show the number of Codebreaker's pegs which are the same color, but not in the same place as the Codemaker's pegs.

 Game Type

Player vs. Computer

The game is played on a double board.

The player sets a secret combination (on the lower right side of the board) which the computer has to crack. Meanwhile, the computer sets a secret combination for the player.

The player and the computer proceed with the game according to the rules, constructing their "guess combinations" turn by turn. The player  uses the left side of the board,  from the bottom up. The computer uses the right side, from the top down.

The first one to crack the opponent's secret combination wins.

Player Only

The computer acts as Codemaker, setting a secret combination which the player tries to crack.

Computer Only

The player acts as Codemaker, setting a secret combination which the computer cracks in no time in an unimaginative and moronically methodic way.
