Ok, I'm going to try my hand at a new game and see how good it is. The game is Mastermind(TM) and will work exactly like the board game does. For those that do not know how this game works, read below.




The Mastermind will take coloured pegs and place them in a specific order, keeping them hidden from the other players. the player will place out a number of pegs on the board in the order they think the Mastermind has chosen. The master mind will then place white or black mini pegs after each guess to show that either some of the pegs are either correct and in the correct place, correct but in the wrong place, or not correct and not in the right place. For the forum, posters will post a guess instead.

So if the pegs the Mastermind has are Blue, Red, Pink, Green.
And the Player Guesses Yellow, Blue, Brown, Green
Then the master mind will show a black mini peg and a white mini peg to show that one Peg is in the right place and right order (the Green one) and that one peg is correct but not in the right place ( the Blue one) Players must use powers of elimination and the previous guesses to work out the correct pegs and the correct order. The person who guesses correctly, wins! I'll quote each person's guess individually and try my best to answer as quickly as possible.



Okies, so here goes.

RULES
(1) There are a maximium of 5 colours to choose from which are RED, BLUE, GREEN, YELLOW, BROWN (this is a trial after all)
(2) There are 4 hidden pegs, I have already written down what colour they are and the order they appear.
(3) There are NO repeated colours in this game, each colour will only appear once
(4) Each poster may only make ONE guess at a time. so may post again once I have posted an answer (what i will do is quote someones guess, then list the black and/or white pegs, after that the person is free to guess again. Limiting posts of poeple to prevent one person making 9999 guesses at once)
(5) White pegs mean one Peg is correct and in the correct place.
(6) Black pegs mean one Peg is correct but in the wrong place
(7) Post your guesses in this format for example. Red, Blue, Green, Yellow. I will then quote as described in (4) with the answer


If this goes well I'll add it to my "How To" guide stickied at the top of the forum along with some variations
