Simple idea, great fun

We still have one of the first editions of Mastermind home. Alone, that the game is over and over again produces, already speaks for the success!
The game is a must for puzzle freaks heads and logic although the idea behind Mastermind is quite simple. But as so often, it is so that the simplest games are the best.
One player thinks concealed a four-digit sequence of colors and brings this hidden behind a wall with colored push-buttons. The other players must now 1. rausbekommen by clever combination of colors the right colors and 2. the correct order.
The one who came up with the four-digit sequence of colors shows the other players how many colors are correct and how many even stuck already in place. BUT: The players do not know exactly to what color it is at which place - he knows only that which is correct.
The game itself has a high durability, since plastic is known, not as quickly breaks down such. As playing cards.
All in all a game for the ages!
