Pros: builds logical thinking skills
Cons: small pegs, fairly easy to win
If you've read some of my other game reviews, you might notice a trend. Most of the games I like involve some type of logic puzzle element. Mastermind is no exception.
Mastermind is a very simple game. It requires two players, one of whom...

Cons: Very difficult
Introduction

Pros: It's a great concept, but they didn't put in enough colors.
Cons: A basic guessing pattern wins the game every time.
I love this style of game. Use strategy, outthink the opponent...it's fantastic. However, when a lamebrain guessing strategy wins the game without fail... The Idea This game has a great idea behind it. One person establishes a 4 peg ...

Pros: Challenges the brain. Teaches you how to think methodically and logically. Requires deductive reasoning.
Cons: People not good at deductive reasoning may find this game too "trying".

Pros: Even for the little ones.
Cons: Can lose pieces
I was introduced to this game many years ago when I was about 7 or 8. Then the older siblings moved out and I never saw it again until I was at a garage sale. I brought it home for 50 cents (older version of what you see above). I introduced it to my...

Pros: Large variety of ways to win, teaches a variety of skills
Cons: Can be a bit tedious after so many games with the same opponent
As per the Epinion I'm 'agreeing' with -- har, har; mine is in the original cheeseball packaging, and, yes, it has stood the test of time amazingly well. I've forgotten almost all the games of my childhood, but this one came back in no time.

Pros: teaches logic and problem solving
Cons: loses it's challenge after about 10 plays
This is a great game, the first 10 times you play it. Unfortunately there just isn't that much too it, very quickly it loses it's charms. This is a very logical game, that basically tests your code breaking skills. If you have a child that needs a...
