Just like the classic boardgames. OK level of ads.

Just like the boardgame I played as a kid. An acceptable number of ads. Just what I wanted. I've tried other code-breaker-type games that have frustrating because of the number of ads and/or the confusing differences in game play. One app was set up so that I couldn't look at the results after a round ended; it went straight to an ad. So, I couldn't even figure out how the rules varied.

Fun and doesn’t spam with ads

Relaxing game. Doesn’t try to spam you with ads like other games.

Best features

It’s built without distractions like blinking things and background music. I’ve tried other apps for this game but they made it difficult to think. At least for me. I would like be able to customize pegs colors and/or the overall look, but that’s minor.

Great game!

I have enjoyed mastermind since I bought it for my daughter 40+ years ago. It teaches logic and patience - great!
