What Makes It Uncommon

In 1936, Alan Turing created the first conceptual model of a computer known affectionately as a Turing machine. Think of it as the great-grandparent of today's desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. This code-cracking game challenges players to discover millions of secret three-digit codes using a Turing machine–like artificial intelligence system made entirely of perforated cardboard and paper.

  • Features a proto-computer AI machine tile that does not require wires, internet, or electricity (pretty retro, right?).
  • Round after round, competitors stack cards to "ask" the computer logic questions to uncover the secret three-digit code through the process of elimination or relations between numbers.
  • Play solo or in teams to decipher more than 7 million possible combinations created by an online problem-generator website.
  • Comes with a cardholder, 45 punch cards, 48 criteria cards, and 95 verification cards.
  • Includes 50 note sheets, four screens, and one marker for gameplay. QR code links to gameplay video.
  • Made in China.

Usually ships within 24 hours.

Very fun and challenging

If you like logic games and mental challenges then this is the perfect game for you! I am very impressed with how many puzzles this game has since it is not limited to just the ones in the box but gameplay continues with a plethora of online games, so it will take a VERY long time to get through the various puzzles. Additionally, the online version provides a daily game so you can honestly play this indefinantly.

I love it so much. Infinitely replayable, gajillions of setups and alternate modes (including solo) available via the app. Fantastic logic puzzle, perfect for fans of sudoku/kakuro/etc. I have no idea how they designed it, it boggles the mind.
