Everyone hides a row of numbered tiles, and the race is to crack your opponents' secret codes before they crack yours. Guess a rival's tile right and it flips down for all to see; guess wrong and you must expose one of your own. Each turn a fresh tile slots into your line, feeding clues to everyone.
Who it's for
Fans of pure deduction and logic puzzles who want a quick, cerebral head-to-head, best experienced at two or three players.
Not for you if…
You want theme, variety or lively interaction. It is austere and mathy, luck of the draw can sting, and it wears thin over many plays.
Vibe's take
A pure logic squeeze of deducing ordered hidden tiles from partial clues while guarding your own sequence.
