| Shade_Jon | 10 | 6 | Some | This is almost an essential rite-of-passage, a classic deduction game. But ultimately one learns to solve it. |
| mawiker | 9 | 6 | Yes | |
| pikkusiili2000 | 9 | 6 | Yes | Very nice way to learn analytical skills. |
| Bigeeh | 8 | 9 | Yes | Excellent game for developing analytical & deduction skills. Can be very difficult if you allow double colors and blanks. My daughter gets better at it as she gets older. She also likes the colorful bits. |
| boltongeordie | 7 | 6 | Yes | Excellent for teaching logic and deduction, plenty of value for money here even thuogh the fun does pale eventually (see Admiral Fishers comments) |
| fortgary | 7 | 8 | Yes | This is a great game for flexing the brain and learning how to use the valuable skills of deduction and logical reasoning. Quite fun for kids once they figure out how to actually work the game and not just randomly guess each turn. |
| The Unbeliever | 7 | 8 | Yes | Great for exercising logic skills. |
| Admiral Fisher | 6 | | | This used to be a ubiquitous game in the 1970s. Everyone in England had it and then the Mastermind Deluxe with 5 pieces to guess. It's actully quite a lot of fun and teaches a certain amount of logic. Having said that, there is a pattern to playing well, which once learned, takes an edge off of the game. |
| smithhemb | 6 | | | Good intro deduction game for 5-10 year olds. At the younger end of that age range, start with letting the child be the guesser until s/he really gets the hang of the game or provide an adult helper (otherwise little kids tend to give erroneous feedback and then the game implodes).
Can be made more difficult by including an empty hole option (or by combining sets of different vintages which have same sized-pieces but some different color options). |
