🛠 About the Game / How It Works

One player takes the role of the codemaker, secretly arranging a sequence of colored pegs.
The other becomes the codebreaker, who must guess the correct combination within a set number of turns.
After each attempt, the codemaker provides clues using black and white pegs—indicating how many colors are correct and how many are in the right position.
This early 1972 version captures pure seventies style: sleek design, vintage look, and analog gameplay free from digital distractions.
