x1_3ca66826dda7e90d85adef3d2ff1970cOur family are huge board game fans and we often host “Family Fun Nights” consisting of pizza, ice cream, and our favorite board games. When I received our copy of Mastermind to review, I knew that it would be a great fit for our next “Family Fun Night”- and I was so right!! This fun, colorful game is great for kids and adults of all ages. It was challenging enough that my husband played again and again, yet the rules are simple enough that even my five year old darling enjoyed it.

In order to win, players must use strategy and problem solvincommunity_fingersBoardg skills to outsmart their opponent. One player is the codemaker and sets a code of colored pegs.
