Overview
The objective of the game is to be the first player to correctly solve the code, and with the fewest questions asked, or be the only player not eliminated.
Turn
A turn consists of four or five stages, with each stage carried out simultaneously/ The stages are:
- Compose
- Question
- Deduce
- End
- Verification (Not in all rounds)
Compose
In this phase, each player decides on a number for each colour/shape. A number may be used for multiple shapes (e.g. three triangles three squares, two circles).
Question
Players pick up to three of the Verifiers and see how their Proposal meets their criteria.
Two Important Notes:
- The Verifiers do NOT correspond to colors and/or shapes. For example:
- Two Verifiers may contain criteria towards the same colour/shape, or
- A single Verifier may ask if Yellow/Square is Even,
- Another Verifier may ask if Yellow/Square is greater than three)
- The Correct and Incorrect answer received does NOT mean the number is right or wrong, but whether or not your proposal passed for that the Verifier.
Deduce
After completing the Verification step, take some time to figure out (but not declare) if you have found the answer.
End
At the end, count to three, then reveal either a thumbs up (if think you know the code) or a thumbs down (if you are not sure of the code)
If everyone pointed down, return to Compose Phase
If at least one person pointed up, move to the Verification Phase
Verification
The correct code will pass the test of ALL verifiers
If one person is correct, they win!
If more than one person is correct, the person who asked the fewest questions wins!
If no one is correct, they are eliminated!
If the second to last person is eliminated, the final player, even though they did not participate in Verification, will win!
Mode
Classic
1 card for each verifier.
Extreme
2 cards for each verifier but only one valid criterion.
Nightmare
You do not know which verifier is associated with which verification card.
