Colour Code
Crack the peg sequence
Crack a hidden four-peg code by deduction alone.
Deduction against a hidden four-peg code, with a pegboard you can actually read.
About Colour Code
Every guess buys information, so the wasteful opening is the real mistake. The pegboard is readable at a glance, which keeps the game about logic rather than squinting.
How to play Colour Code
Deduce the hidden four-peg colour code.
