Pressman The Original Mastermind: The Strategy Game of Codemaker Vs. Codebreaker | Multicolor | Great Gift Idea | Promotes STEM Principles | 2 Players, Ages 8+

Our whole family loves The Original Mastermind! The kids enjoy it, and honestly, so do I. It’s such a great game for getting everyone to think and strategize — it really gets the mind going. It’s inexpensive, easy to learn, and keeps everyone entertained without screens. A fun classic that never gets old!

Love that game

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.

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.

I recently discovered the classic version of this game through my brother. I immediately went to purchase this and was a little hesitant because of the top reviews (from 2017) stating how low quality this product is. I think, maybe, at the time, the product may have been lower quality but the version that I received was everything I hoped it would be. It's light, compact, and easy to store and play. For the price you pay, I think the product delivered was perfect. I would like to see the Top Reviews fall off so other opinions can move to the top because I'm sure the makers have learned from their mistakes and created a better product. I will say, my one drawback is the size of all the pieces. I'm constantly in fear that dropping one is gonna cause it to fall into the abyss of lost toys and game pieces, but I haven't lost a piece yet. This game is a fun and entertaining experience and if you just want a quick brain teaser, I'd say this game is the one for you and a friend or family member.

Fun to play with your kids or another adult while having a conversation. Its simple yet profound gameplay encourages critical thinking and strategic planning. The quality of the components and the good design make it a must-have for anyone who enjoys cerebral and competitive board games. Whether you're a seasoned strategist or a newcomer to the genre, Mastermind offers endless hours of engaging entertainment. Highly recommended!

This game is so fun! My husband and I like to play games when the kids are sleep so we can get some quality time in. Its not hard to play at all. Its easy with just enough usage of brain power. The game was delivered intact with all its pieces. Nothing was broken. We ended up buying one for my brother who is a game nerd!

Lo compré a falta del original y tengo que devolverlo

This is a game of logic and good for anyone that likes a challenge. Also good for sparking a bit of friendly competition between 2 people. To play it with more people, you could try playing in teams or do a round robin type playoff, to see who can break the code in the least number of guesses. Loved playing this in my youth and bought it an an activity for my international student. We have enjoyed several hours of (competitive) game playing. Thanks!

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.
