 The Original MastermindOct 19, 1999
This is the Mastermind game they used to sell, and the one I learned to play as a child. The newer four-peg version is definitely easier, but doesn't provide the deep satisfaction of winning a five-peg game. Adults will find the outcome of this version less predictable. Children may find it frustrating, but it will definitely teach them to think. I don't know if they've changed the packaging design, but the pegs and markers used to be far too easy to lose and not portable at all -- my only criticism of the game, and thus the three-star durability rating.

 Expand This Game Even FurtherNov 17, 1999
This remake of the original Super Mastermind is a welcome return, as I have lost most of my pieces from the game (purchased in the 70's ouch!). While this is a great brain game you can expand it even further by using a blank hole as a sixth color adding even more difficulty to it. If you do use the empty hole as a color, I suggest that you allow the red peg to be placed in the correct coresponding hole while the white pegs will still represent the correct additional colors, but not in any order. If this sounds confusing to you, I 'll bet you've never played this game. Trust me, buy this game and you'll understand very quickly. Don't miss out on this addictive and thought provoking game. Ages eight and up seems to be a stretch, it is more appropriate for 10/12 and older. Enjoy!

 Very displeasedFeb 04, 2007
By eeddeenn
"=^..^="
Actually, we love the game very much but are very disappointed with Pressman Toys. Here's the scoop: our game came with only 20 pegs of each color -- the box clearly shows at least 40 of each color. We've called the company 1800 800-0298 x 186 several times but they refuse to send us additional pegs. Just bad business practice in my opinion. As the saying goes, when you love something you tell a few people, when you're not happy you tell everyone. I'll be sure to check that I'm not buying items from Pressman Toys next time. So instead of returning the game and paying for shipping we'll just have to win in fewer steps. SIGH!!

Can also be played as two separate gamesJan 14, 2001
By Nancy J Young
I have "Super Mastermind" which is the same setup as the advanced Mastermind. I have enjoyed playing it whenever I can find someone to play it with me. Recently, I was trying to help a friend improve her logic thought processing, and we split the game up into two parts: one "game" was to solve the order of colors using 5 predetermined colors; the other "game" was to solve which 5 colors had been chosen. Once she got the two parts figured out, we put it all together.

great game but low quality physicallyNov 04, 2007
By Joon T. Ng
I remember enjoying this game a lot when I was a kid and ordered this for collection and to play it my husband. This advanced mastermind is quite challenging and we enjoyed it. However, I was surprise with the quality of it. It looks cheap and not well made. It does not made of nice plastic.
