<div>How to play https://youtu.be/f71fnDrkAA4<br />
===Overview===<br />
<br />
This game has 2 versions, 2 player and 3+ player, each play DIFFERENTLY<br />
<br />
On a 2 player game, you are trying to guess the tiles of your opponent<br />
<br />
In a 3+ player game, you are trying to guess the undistributed tiles<br />
<br />
All codes are arranged in ascending order. When there are two identical digits of different colors, the black one will be on the left.<br />
<br />
===TURN===<br />
<br />
On your turn, you have two options:<br />
<br />
1 ) Ask a question from the available pool <br />
<br />
On 2 and 3 players, only your opponents answer<br />
<br />
On 4 players, you also give your answer<br />
<br />
2 ) Guess the code<br />
<br />
If you guess incorrectly in a 2-player game, your turn ends and play continues as normal. If you guess incorrectly in a 3+ player game, you are out of the game and lose. If everyone guesses incorrectly, there is no winner.<br />
<br />
If you guess correctly, the remainder of the round continues to give all players equal turns then everyone who guessed correctly at the end of that round is an equal winner<br />
<br />
NOTE: Although there are multiple versions of this game, this adaptation uses the version whereby you may only guess during your turn NOT out of turn<br />
<br />
===BGA HELP===<br />
<br />
The white board is your notepad in essence and is made up of multiple areas.<br />
<br />
If added in the options (recommended) the game will auto-fill 100% known info (e.g. if the question was "where is number 8", as opposed to "do you have an even number" which is vague and you have to figure out yourself)<br />
<br />
You can click on any large white space and, similar to Sudoko, a box will come up with a keypad of theory numbers (multiple can be selected) which appear as small notes as to what you think is in each space. (e.g. 7 will appear at top left and 9 will appear at top right, so if you're not sure if it's 7 OR 9 you can pencil in both numbers)<br />
<br />
The lower part of the white space has the three colours, you can cross or tick these to show whether you think it's a certain colour, you can tick and cross multiple e.g. tick black and white whilst crossing green<br />
<br />
Above the other players boxes is an area with every number in the game, you can use this to cross numbers off as you disqualify them<br />
<br />
To the right of this is a representation of the final answer, this is NOT the guessing area, but can be used to formulate what you think the final answer is in theory</div>IgnatiusG
