Anyone remember this game? 
It makes an excellent FG, IMO.
Master Mind
The Rules:
The "setter" chooses a pattern of four pegs, each peg being one of six colors:
Blue, Red, Orange, Green, Yellow, and Purple. IE, RYRG would be red/yellow/red/green. You may use a color as many times as you like.
The guessers, ie the FG crowd, have 10 guesses to get it right. An update occurs between each guess.
Each guess is updated by presenting up to four pegs, black or white, representing how close the guesses were. Each peg of a correct color gets at least a white peg; if it is also in the right spot in order, it gets a black peg. The black/white pegs are not in any order, and they do not denote *which* pegs are in which spot.
For example, using RYRG as the correct answer:
GGGG gets B (one green is in the right spot)
RRRR gets BB (two reds, both in the right spot)
RYRY gets BBB (two reds and a yellow, all correct spots)
YRYR gets WWW (two reds and a yellow, none in right spot)
RYYR gets BBW (two reds and a yellow, two of which in the right spot)
RGYR gets BWWW (all four colors right, only the initial R is in the right spot)
etc.
You may not get any "answer" pegs at all in any given guess, or you may get all four, or any combination of them. Remember, getting no pegs is often more useful then getting one or two pegs, as that eliminates several colors.
The FGers may and should discuss possibilities before a final guess is made each time, although anyone at any time may make a guess. You may not make more than one guess for every three consecutive guesses, however (ie, guess-no-no-guess is fine).
Winner: This game is more collaborative than Hangman, but nonetheless the "final answerer" is considered the winner (whomever gets it right). If nobody gets it right, then the setter gets a point. I will probably keep these points separately, as this game is more "setter vs. guesser" than most games.
I'll start Please feel free to guess at any time, I'm going to bed so whomever's guess is listed first will be answered by me tomorrow.
