Amazing game!
Really fun to play! Good quality and a reasonable amount of different coloured pegs. The Price could be slightly cheaper. Otherwise, this game is amazing. My favourite game I have ever played!

Great game, not perfect version
Lovely to have this game in a wooden set. Only criticisms are that there are less colours than the classic version, and a few of the pieces have chunks missing so they fall out easily when playing.

Simply Excellent
I bought this game as I am trying to build up my family's board game cupboard with games we can grab and play quickly. I was definitely not dosappointed. The Mind Genius game was delivered promptly and in extremely classy packaging. I was thrilled before I even got to the game. Inside the box was the game board, instructions (printed on paper of very good quality, in an envelope for safe keeping), the wooden pieces and a cloth bag for keeping the pieces in. All wrapped in Jaques printed tissue paper. The game board itself is wooden and of fantastic quality and the same can be said for the game pieces, they are well made and look good. The game itself is a code breaking game, my children aged 10+ have enjoyed playing together over the Christmas period and this is now one of my favourites in our collection.

Excellent presentation
I used to love playing this game as a child and so I have now bought it for my children - 13 and 15. We all love it and it is excellently presented.

Excellent game and no console in sight!!
Beautifully packed game. Very fast delivery too. I do love this game and played with it non stop, back on the day!! I haven't actually opened it as it's a present for my son, but if anything like the care taken with packaging, then my guess is that it's a beautifully crafted game. A game you can play with your children, helps to teach a variety of skills, it's great to interact with your children instead of them disappearing in front of a screen game, all on their own.

Great game
Love that it’s wooden. I’ve made a little bag as well for the pieces to go in. I got it as a little after dinner game my partner and I could play and actually our 3 and 5 year old have fallen in love with it too. Although not quite a peaceful play it’s so nice to share these sort of logical games with them. Nicely made and good quality.

Tolles Spiel in hervorragender Qualität
Das Spiel ist komplett aus Holz, hervorrangend verarbeitet und sehr liebevoll und hochwertig verpackt. Mir war wichtig, das es viele "Lösungszeilen" hat. Manche haben deutlich weniger. Da reichen die Zeilen ggf. nicht aus, um das Spiel zu lösen. Hier sind es 10. Das reicht völlig. Außerdem sind es "nur" 4 Steckplätze mit 5 Farben. Das macht es kurzweiliger und ist auch für meine 8-jährige Tochter kein Problem.

Tolles Spiel, hochwertige Verarbeitung
Tolles Spiel, hervorragende Qualität. Ich habe einige schlechte Bewertungen gelesen und kann sie überhaupt nicht nachvollziehen. Sehr schöne Verarbeitung und hochwertige Verpackung. 10 Lösungsmöglichkeiten, daher auch für Kinder geeignet.

Super Spiel
Ich fand das Spiel als Kind bei Oma schon toll und war glücklich es hier wiederentdeckt zu haben :). Die Holzvariante hat mich schon auf den Bildern sehr angesprochen. Durch die Größe super mit Kindern zu spielen. Die Farben der Pins sind sehr schön. 2 Holzpins passen jedoch nicht in die vorhergehenden Löcher. Mir gefällt das Spiel. Würde es wieder kaufen. Kam sehr hübsch eingepackt.

Tolle Alternative zu Plastik-Spielzeug
Das Spiel wird in einer schön gestalteten Schachtel geliefert, welche durch ein Stoffband mit Schleife verschlossen ist. 'Mind Genius' ist komplett aus Holz gefertigt. Die Figuren sowie das Spielbrett sind ordentlich verarbeitet und weisen weder Unebenheiten noch Grate auf. Die Farben sind gut aufgetragen und decken vollständig. Farbfehler oder Abweichungen sind nicht erkennbar. Die Figürchen passen gut in die gefertigten Vertiefungen. Es handelt sich bei dem Spiel um eine Version des bekannten 'Master Mind', bei welchem eine (verdeckte) unbekannte Anordnung von Farben herausgefunden werden muss. Das Denkspiel ist rein logisch lösbar und verspricht kurzweiliges Vergnügen.
