Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Who can be the most cunning pirate of them all? Guess the other players’ secret codes before they discover yours and become the pirate captain. A game of logic and luck, secrets and treasures for 2 to 4 players.How to Play LEGO Games
Build: the basic game layout using the included building instructions. Play: players select their code and hide it in their treasure chest. Using the dice, take a gem of the colour shown on the dice plus one more and place them on any opponents ‘guessing area’. Your opponent will then reposition your gems based on whether or not your guess was correct. Continue guessing in turn until someone cracks a code of one of their opponents'. The player who has their code cracked cannot win but can continue guessing the other codes. Change: make the game shorter by using the brown tiles (eg 3 gem code), make the game into a 2 player game or use the white tile of the dice to introduce the skeleton--use his gem as part of your code and then replace his gem with a colour of your choice.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Mastermind for beginners,

This review is from: LEGO Games 3840 Pirate Code (Toy)
This is a simplified version of the old classic Mastermind game, where one player chooses a secret colour code, and the other player tries to work out the colours used and the order they have been placed in.
The Lego version is simpler because each colour can be used only once in the code (there are six to choose from). This makes the game easier for younger players. A multi-coloured die is used to limit the guess that each player can make: this introduces an element of chance. One big plus of the Lego version of the game is that all players - up to four - can be both code-maker and code-breaker at the same time, so it's a better family game than classic Mastermind. As with all of this range of games, there are suggestions for alternative rules. There are also pictures on the inside of the box showing how to turn the set into a Mastermind game - however, this lacks the black and white pegs you need to play Mastermind properly. We had good fun with this set. However, we have since bought a version of Mastermind as well (Brainmaster), and we're finding that we play that more often than the Lego game. Pirate Code is probably best for eight to ten year olds.

This review is from: LEGO Games 3840 Pirate Code (Toy)
We bought this for our son's 6th birthday. He is Lego mad so this did not disappoint. He was able to build the game and we then played it! A very simple game but great for his age group. His sister aged 8 also enjoyed it. The game falls apart a bit (well it is Lego!) if you're not careful when playing, but a neat little idea.

This review is from: LEGO Games 3840 Pirate Code (Toy)
I bought this game for my son who has already spent hours enjoying his lego Minotaurs game. This game is equally as good (a fun version of the traditional Mastermind game) but it does take a little while for children to grasp the logical and tactical gameplay. My son is seven and I feel that it would be too hard if her was younger.
